JSON Finder - Simplified Navigation For JSON

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.

I like the visuals, but it doesn't work on online JSON files that do not report them selves as json files, like so many other JSON formatters.
