SP REST JSON Firefox

SP REST JSON

By: DDesch
SP REST JSON modifies the accept property in the request header for SharePoint REST API calls to get the response in JSON format and to show it directly in Firefox instead of downloading a XML file. Works for on-premises and SharePoint online.

Features & Capabilities

SP REST JSON is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your experience with the SharePoint REST API. It automatically modifies the 'Accept' header in API requests to retrieve JSON responses instead of XML, providing cleaner and more accessible data formats.

The extension monitors your active tabs and changes the request headers when URLs match typical SharePoint REST API paths like '/_api/web/', '/_api/site/', and '_vti_bin/ListData.svc'. It supports both SharePoint Online and on-premises environments. Users can customize URL filters and specify the desired 'Accept' header format, including options such as 'application/json;odata=verbose', 'minimalmetadata', 'nometadata', or revert to 'text/xml'. This tool simplifies API interactions by enabling direct JSON response display in your browser, enhancing development and debugging workflows.

User Reviews

This extension makes debugging the REST API possible with FireFox since MS decided to use an ATOM/XML content type and hose FF apparently by default. Thank you!

Is SP REST JSON Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SP REST JSON requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

SP REST JSON has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
