JSON viewer for browsing APIs [closed]

Question

Does anyone have any recommendations for applications or browser plugins that make browsing and visualizing JSON APIs easy. Please support your answer with a reference or link to the application you recommend.

Answer 1

For completeness there is also this JSON Viewer
I have only tried the stand-alone, and it seems to do the basics ok. However the firefox plugin had less friction for what I was doing.

From the documentation:
The JSON View package is a set of 3 viewers available in the following flavors:

1. A standalone viewer - JsonView.exe
2. A plugin for Fiddler 2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/) - FiddlerJsonViewer.dll
3. A visualizer for Viusal Studio 2005 - JsonVisualizer.dll

Answer 2

Johns tool is nice. Anoter nice online tool is http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/

Answer 3

I'm not completely sure what you're asking.

• If you're looking for a JSON viewer to examine complex JSON strings, take a look at JSON Visualizer.

• If you're looking for a way to browse an API, consult that API's documentation.

Answer 4

This is a simple option. http://jsonviewer.jaycodesign.co.nz/

Just copy the JSON in and see it visualized to the right.

Answer 5

Well, the list here is pretty comprehensive, I'll just add Jabulr, an online tool that attempts to show JSON in a tabular format. And, yes, it accepts a URL pointing to your JSON data.

Answer 6

Firebug in Firefox does the job when you have a url which returns json (Firebug is a must have for any web developer, if you don't have it installed already, you can get it here): with Firebug open and active navigate to your url in Firefox, in Firebug go to the Net tab, then click + sign next to your url in the grid, there should be a JSON tab available which you can use to explore your object in a tree view.
