About JSON Wrangler

This extension makes it so JSON files are displayed in a much nicer and more interactive way in the browser. There already exist various extensions to do this, but they all suffered from being old and unmaintained, or buggy, or missing features I consider vital. In particular they could not cope at all with large files, which this extension can (up to hundreds of megabytes). Key features: * Extremely fast compared to the other JSON extensions, and is the only extension that copes with large files. * The display is aesthetically pleasing but also compact (e.g. small objects and arrays are displayed on one line), and automatically adapts to dark or light mode. * Toggle objects and arrays closed, including doing so automatically to all children of the item you click on (ctrl-click to do this). * Displays the JSONPath of the item the mouse is over. * You can search using regular expressions (type a JavaScript regular expression literal in the search box to do this). * URLs in strings (including property names) are detected automatically and made clickable.
