About JSON Parse

The ultimate JSON Formatter & JSON Viewer for developers. Instantly transform messy, minified JSON into a clean, interactive tree view. Whether you use the Side Panel UI or the full-page takeover, this extension serves as a powerful JSON Formatter to beautify your data and a robust JSON Viewer to navigate complex structures. Perfect for debugging APIs and inspecting large data payloads. 🚀 Key Features: Side Panel Navigation: Open the JSON Viewer in the Chrome Side Panel to inspect data without losing your place on the main page. Perfect for multi-tasking and API debugging. Auto-Detection: Automatically detects JSON in <pre>, <code>, or <script> tags and formats raw JSON pages on the fly. Interactive Tree View: Navigate collapsible nodes with recursive expansion and smart truncation for large datasets. Custom Input & Validation: Paste or type custom JSON directly into the panel to format and validate it instantly. Full-Text Search: Search all keys and values with inline highlights, regex support and a live result counter. Custom Themes: Choose from 12 popular syntax themes, or define your own syntax highlighting colors. Dynamic toolbar icon The toolbar icon reflects if JSON is detected on the currently opened webpage. Path & Context Tools: Right-click to copy keys or dot-paths; hover to reveal the full path in a tooltip. Raw vs. Pretty Toggle: Instantly switch between the interactive tree, pretty-printed text, or raw source. SPA & Ajax Support: Monitors DOM changes to ensure it works on Single Page Applications (React, Vue, etc.) without page reloads. No data collection: All parsing is done localy on your machine and works fully offline. No tracking or JSON data is sent to external servers.
