JSONViewer-for-Chrome
JSONViewer-for-Chrome is a Chrome extension for printing JSON nicely when you visit it 'directly' in a browser tab. This allows you to a view JSON string in a tree format. Also, you can open/close sections for better visibility.
Features
- Fast, even on long pages
- Syntax highlighting
- Collapsible trees, with indent guides and items count
- Clickable URL's
- Buttons for switching between raw and parsed JSON
- Parsed JSON is exported as a global variable,
json, so you can inspect it in the console - Works on any valid JSON page even on local files too (if you enable this in chrome://extensions)
