adrian Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I have been using this for a while now and it is incredibly useful. They have also just released a beta version which is so clean I am sure there are other tools out there like it, but this one has made my life so much easier many times. http://json.parser.online.fr/beta/ Be sure to check all the options under the settings cog! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Walker Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I've been doing a bit with JSON recently and found something similar (although not as nice): http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teppo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 .. and then there's var_dump(json_decode($json)). Seriously speaking, though, the quality of these tools is amazing. I'm having hard time imagining where I would use any of those, but they're all totally cool nevertheless 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hey teppo - the key thing for me is the ability to quickly collapse objects and arrays to make it easier to see what's what and avoid endless scrolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Makes sense I usually do that with Chrome dev tools. It's not that pretty, but handles the job of collapsing, displaying data types and lengths etc. quite well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 True, true - I use that sometimes too when dealing with small json snippets, but head to one of those others when things get larger. Lots of options I guess - in general it blows me away all of the cool dev tools we have available now - almost too many - could spend all your days investigating new things and not getting anything done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
