User-friendly View for JSON
-
User-friendly JSON display like Firefox:
-
Chrome already has support like this for XML, it makes sense to do the same for JSON.
-
It can easily be achieved with an extension like JSON Viewer, which is also way more customizable than whatever browser developers would implement natively, given how many there are other feature requests that don't have workarounds.
-
I've already thumbsup'd this, but this is one of the few small things that keeps me on Firefox, despite it mostly being outclassed by Vivaldi. Firefox's JSON viewer also follows your browser theme (light if light, dark if dark):
I personally don't find extensions like JSON Viewer Pro to be the solution (though that chart/graph is very cool) because granting some random extension full access to everything in my browser is not at all favorable.
Another reason extensions aren't a valid option, imo: short video. You're still blinded first...
-
The developers tools have a built-in JSON tree view. Perhaps this could be re-purposed for any JSON data.
-
@LonM where might that be in the developer tools? I didn't see it anywhere, but maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing.
-
@xnaas If you look in the network tab, any JSON requests can be previewed in an expandable tree.
-
I'm an user of JSON Viewer extension.
When I was on chromium, I could use the built-in search engine:json-viewer[tab]{"JSON": {"content": "data"}}
But with Vivaldi, I no longer have that possibility.
After looking at the extension code, I saw that it relied on theomnibox.html
page withwindow.location.search.substring(1)
So I was able to add a search engine with:
