Chrome JSON Formatter
Transform raw JSON into readable, collapsible tree views
A Chrome extension that makes JSON data readable and navigable instantly. Whenever you open a json file in the browser, it transforms the raw data into a properly formatted, collapsible tree structure.
What we love ❤️
- Works instantly without any configuration needed
- Formats and validates JSON locally in your browser
- Collapsible tree view for easy navigation
- Has dark mode 🙌
- Has buttons for toggling between raw and parsed JSON
Worth noting 💡
- Chrome only - no Firefox or Edge versions
- Only works with valid JSON data
- Some very large JSON files might take time to format
While JSON formatting might seem like a simple task, this extension shows how focusing on core functionality leads to better tools. It does exactly what you need when viewing JSON data - makes it readable and navigable, without adding unnecessary complexity.
