SP REST JSON

Modifies request header for SharePoint REST API calls to get JSON instead of XML. For best results you'll need a JSON viewer Add-on.
What is SP REST JSON?
SP REST JSON, a highly-effective Chrome extension, is purpose-built to modify the request headers for SharePoint REST API calls. Once a tab is activated, the current URL is matched with certain strings and the 'accept' property in the request header is altered to 'application/json;odata=verbose' by default. This tool greatly enhances efficiency in handling SharePoint data for developers by making it possible to obtain JSON results instead of XML. Moreover, users can customize global options to tweak SharePoint URL filters and select different 'accept' header settings based on their needs.

Very good formatting - BUT - invalid JSON for copying elsewhere. It should be formatted with " values around each entry.
