About JSON / API Viewer Pro
JSON / API Viewer Pro turns your browser into a complete JSON and API workbench. Open any JSON from a web page, file, clipboard, or the DevTools Network panel to read, query, compare, and validate your data entirely locally.
READ AND INSPECT ANY DATA
• Multiple views: Tree, code, raw format, tables, statistics, and graphs
• Optimized for large documents with background parsing and virtualized rendering
• Search keys, values, or paths using regular expressions and custom case settings
• Copy paths, values, or code snippets for your scripts
• Repair broken JSON with an instant preview before applying changes
• Edit, rename, and delete nodes with full undo support
• Open popular data exchange formats and JSONP directly
• Automatically inspect dates, timestamps, UUIDs, JWTs, colors, and images
QUERY AND TRANSFORM
• Built-in querying with JSONPath, JMESPath, and jq support
• Display results as JSON or tables; export, flatten, group, or deduplicate data
• Save frequent queries and view historical runs
COMPARE AND DIFFERENTIALS
• Structural diffs by path: highlight added, removed, or modified values and types
• Side-by-side and unified diff views with advanced 3-way comparisons
• Option to ignore specific paths, key ordering, or small numerical differences
API WORKFLOW & DEVTOOLS
• Dedicated DevTools panel captures JSON responses from active browser tabs
• Endpoint timeline lines up responses over time to compare against previous runs
• Contract diffing flags breaking changes such as missing fields or altered types
• Set baselines to automatically validate subsequent API responses
• Track API changelogs, import session logs, replay requests, and manage OpenAPI specs
• Personal data scanner helps locate and mask sensitive information in one click
SCHEMAS, CODE GENERATION, AND TESTING
• JSON Schema validation with direct error path mapping; generate schemas from samples
• Automatically generate type definitions for popular programming languages
• Convert real responses into API test suites and mock data generators
• Convert JSON into structured tables, markup, or request query strings
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
