JSON Beautifier and Editor

Display JSON objects by transforming them into Syntax editable highlighted HTML to validate, format, and save

The JSON Beautifier and Editor Chrome extension transforms raw JSON and JSONP data into a readable and editable format. It automatically detects JSON mime types and converts pages into an editor mode with syntax highlighting and collapsible tree views. Users can browse, search, and modify JSON keys and values, change data formats, and drag elements to rearrange structure.

Featuring both light and dark themes aligned with your browser settings, it supports multiple MIME types including application/json, text/javascript, and more. The extension also offers raw, code, and parsed views for flexible editing and copying options such as copying object paths or entire JSON segments. With features like clickable URLs, persistent tree view expansions, and context menu integration for creating new JSON editors from selected text, it is an essential tool for developers working with JSON data.

User reviews

Users praise the JSON Beautifier and Editor add-on for its dark mode, easy navigation via path copying, appealing new interface, and usefulness for quick JSON viewing. However, multiple users report issues with numerical filtering in the Transform feature, occasional browser slowdowns or hangs, inability to capture JSON in iframes, and challenges with character encoding for Chinese text. Some users also suggest improving error handling when formatting fails for a smoother experience.
Pros
  • Supports dark mode, making it easy on the eyes.
  • Allows copying the path of JSON elements, enhancing navigation.
  • New interface is visually appealing with a strong table feature.
  • Simple and useful with features like folding and expanding JSON trees.
  • Convenient for quickly viewing JSON without heavy tools like Postman.
Cons
  • Issues with filtering numerical values using '==' in Transform popup, leading to ineffective filtering.
  • Sometimes slows down or hangs the browser when processing data.
  • Does not capture JSON data loaded inside iframes.
  • Problems displaying Chinese characters properly due to encoding issues.
  • Lacks error messages when JSON formatting fails, which could improve user feedback.

- Can copy the path, click on an element and on the top-bar it will appear the path. - Can be in dark-mode. These things make me to give 5 Stars.
