About DevJSON - Advanced JSON & XML Formatter
What's New in v2.2.0
Faster on large files — beautify, minify, and tree view no longer freeze the tab on big JSON/XML pastes
Tree View is now the default view on open
Expand All / Collapse All buttons added to Tree View — works for both JSON and XML
Clearer copy buttons — tree rows now show "Copy Path" / "Copy XPath" instead of just "Path" / "XPath"
Minor bug fix: copy confirmation toast now shows the correct message
v2.1.0 — Compare is here! 🆚
Diff two JSON or XML documents side-by-side. Paste your original
and modified versions into the new Compare tab and instantly see
what was added, removed, or changed — color-coded and easy to scan.
• New "Compare" tab alongside Viewer
• Works for both JSON and XML
• Clear visual legend: added / removed / changed / unchanged
• Same fast, private, zero-bloat experience you already use
As always — no data leaves your browser. Everything runs locally.

✦ CORE FEATURES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔷 BEAUTIFY
Instantly format messy, compressed, or single-line JSON and XML into clean, readable, properly indented output. Syntax highlighting makes keys, values, strings, and types easy to distinguish at a glance.
🔷 MINIFY
Compress any JSON or XML into a compact single-line format — perfect for APIs, configs, and production payloads.
🔷 VALIDATE
Know instantly if your data is valid. DevJSON shows precise, human-readable error messages with line and column numbers, so you can locate and fix problems fast.
Example: "Invalid JSON at line 14, column 28"
🔷 TREE VIEW
Explore deeply nested JSON and XML visually. Expand and collapse objects, arrays, and XML elements with a single click. Array indexes are clearly shown as [0], [1], [2]. Perfect for understanding unfamiliar data structures quickly.
🔷 XML SUPPORT
Full XML support alongside JSON — beautify, minify, validate, and explore XML with syntax highlighting for tags, attributes, and values.
🔷 COPY PATH / COPY XPATH
Hover over any node in Tree View and copy its exact path with one click.
JSON path example: root.users[0].profile.username
XML XPath example: /users/user[1]/profile/name
No more manually tracing nested structures.
🔷 SEARCH
Search across keys, values, tags, and attributes in both Code View and Tree View. Matching results are highlighted and you can navigate through them with Next/Previous controls or keyboard shortcuts.
🔷 LIGHT & DARK MODE
Switch between a polished dark theme (easy on eyes during long sessions) and a clean light theme. Your preference is saved automatically.
