What is JSON Finder?
JSON Finder is a handy, robust Chrome extension specially designed to provide an improved JSON browsing experience.

Apart from basic browsing, JSON Finder offers the ability to mark deep objects or arrays, highlight matched keywords during search, and provides support for browser back/forward navigation. The extension’s efficiency is boosted with the significant codebase migration to Backbone.js. Its updated versions promise fixes and enhancements making JSON Finder an essential tool for handling JSON.
