JSONView: A Chrome Extension for Viewing JSON Documents

JSONView is a unique browser extension specifically designed for Chrome users. It significantly enhances the way JSON documents are viewed by transforming plain text into a more readable format. The tool stands out by formatting and highlighting JSON documents, allowing the arrays and objects within them to be collapsed for a simpler, streamlined experience. Even in case of errors in the JSON document, this agile extension will show the raw text. An essential tool for those who regularly work with JSON documents.
