About JSON Sidecar
JSON Sidecar is a focused JSON workbench that stays beside the page you are working on.
Select JSON on any webpage or paste text directly into the side panel, then:
• Format JSON into a readable, two-space-indented document.
• Escape or unescape JSON text by exactly one layer.
• Search and replace with literal, case-sensitive, whole-word, or regular-expression matching.
• Edit with bracket matching, folding, automatic pair insertion, and inline JSON error diagnostics.
• Compare two JSON documents side by side with synchronized scrolling and Git-style highlighting.
• Normalize object key order before comparison while preserving meaningful array order.
• Copy the current result with one click.
JSON Sidecar is local-first. Your text is processed and cached only inside Chrome. It is never sent to the developer or any external server. There are no accounts, analytics, advertisements, trackers, or remote code.
