JSONVue - JSON Document Validation and Viewing Extension

JSONVue is a Chrome extension that offers an efficient way to validate and view JSON documents. The built-in validation feature is powered by a client-side JavaScript implementation of JSONLint. This extension exhibits JSON text in accordance with rfc 4627. It also allows users to customize the stylesheet used for displaying the JSON content. Moreover, JSONVue also has support for JSONP. Originally a port from the Firefox extension JSONView, JSONVue has quickly adapted to Chrome's platform providing seamless JSON document handling.

As I understand, you need to be on content-type 'application/json' document. And then allow the plugin to parse it by clicking on the plugin icon , select "This can be read and change site data", then select among 3 options : - "When you click the extension" - "On < example-website.com >" - "On all sites" If not on a JSON document, all parsing and reading is disabled by default which may seem like this extension is not working, but is !!

It just... Doesn't work? I press the button, like the instructions say, and... Nada. No download, not even a bar or any indication that anything happens. Shame, I was hoping it would help me
