JsonDiscovery

Browser extension that changes the way you're viewing JSON

What is JsonDiscovery?

JsonDiscovery is a must-have Chrome extension for anyone working with JSON data. It offers features like viewing JSON as an interactive tree, copying arrays or objects directly to the clipboard, and data structure signatures similar to TypeScript. Additionally, it supports data transformations via Jora and query typing suggestions. You can also customize your JSON data presentation with tables, lists, etc., and even share customization reports via a link. Not bound by URL/content, it works with any page possessing valid JSON, including local files if enabled. Also, it works offline without making any network requests, maximizing usability.

Perfect. This one ticks every box I have.

Работало и приносило пользу годы, но в последних апдейтах хрома - сломалось. Но в 117.0.5938.132 вроде заработало

Похоже обновление хрома сломало его, с Content-Type=application/json показывается какое-то убогое автоформатирование хрома, с text/plain продолжает работать.
