About JSON Bonsai

**JSON Bonsai turns any raw JSON page into a fast, interactive viewer — built to stay smooth on payloads with 100,000+ nodes.** Open any URL that returns JSON and JSON Bonsai automatically replaces the wall of text with a clean, navigable tree. Then prune it, search it, query it, or reshape it — without the browser grinding to a halt. **Five ways to look at your data** - Tree — virtualized rendering that scrolls smoothly even on huge payloads, with collapsible nodes and depth controls - Table — sortable, virtualized rows for arrays of objects (works on query results too) - Formatted — clean, pretty-printed JSON - Raw — the original response, untouched - Schema — an inferred JSON Schema (draft-07) of your data **Find and reshape anything** - JMESPath query bar with autocomplete and history — filter and reshape the JSON; the result renders as a fully interactive tree - Content search with regex mode, run in a background worker, with match-to-match navigation - Hover any property to see its full JSON path; click to pin and copy - Copy any subtree, or copy exactly what the active view shows **Gets the details right** - Lossless big numbers — 64-bit IDs and high-precision decimals display and copy exactly as sent, where the browser's own parser would silently corrupt them - Syntax highlighting for keys, strings, numbers, booleans, and null; URLs become clickable links **Made to feel like yours** - base16 theming — 13 bundled color schemes plus your own custom themes, with auto / dark / light switching - Per-site memory — your view mode and tree depth are remembered per origin and restored on your next visit - Keyboard-driven — `1`–`8` set tree depth, `0` expands all, `Q` queries, `⌘F` searches, `C` copies Works in both Chrome and Firefox.
