The reasoning behind this verdict

Analyst conclusion

No public-database hits or hostile signals were found. JSON is an inert data format, so the risk is low.

Where this verdict could be wrong1 caveat
  • The file is rarely submitted (2 submitters) and its contents were not inspected by us, so the engines' silence on a data file says little about what the JSON holds.

These are the assessment's weak points. If you believe one applies to your file, report the verdict and we'll re-review it.

Questions & answers

Short answers to the 6 questions people ask most about this file.

Is application.json safe?
We found nothing harmful in application.json. None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flag it. Open it only if you trust the person or website it came from.
What is application.json?
application.json is a file, about 20.7 kB. VirusTotal first saw it on Sep 6, 2025.
How many antivirus engines detected application.json?
None of the 62 antivirus engines that checked it flag application.json. That is a good sign, but not proof, so we also weigh who made it, how widely it is used and what it did in a test run.
What is the SHA-256 hash of application.json?
The SHA-256 fingerprint of application.json is fd00a25765b25d18f4c1a7b868d4a8df84704e3a6cb9d60b10a0056dc6bbcfd7, and its MD5 is fc2ea02d11e8f74b4733fcae9c850476. Two files with the same SHA-256 are identical, so use it to check you have exactly this file, not just one with the same name.
Is it safe to open application.json?
We found nothing harmful in application.json. The main caveat is where you got it: attackers sometimes spread malware under the name of real software, so get it from the official website. If your own antivirus warns about it, check the source before you ignore the warning.
How up to date is this analysis of application.json?
This report reflects the scan on Oct 27, 2026. A file's fingerprint never changes, but antivirus engines keep learning, so a rating can change later. To get a newer result, scan the file again: we refresh the antivirus results when the saved ones are out of date.
