Summary

Browse a JSON web with help from JSON schema & JSON Hyper schema.

Firstly, JSON Browser will prettify JSON documents to make them much more readable. Also, it will grab the schema referenced in the http header ie. "Content-Type: application/json; profile=/schema.json". It can then use this to provide you with the context of the schema and sub-schemas, and add hyperlinks to other documents or pages.

I hope this will be used for developing browsable, intuitive and self-documenting apis using JSON schema.

This extension is mainly an integration of the brilliant Jsonary library.
