3 essential tools for your JSON objects

This is a short listicle

As a developer, it is sometimes difficult to work with JSON. Especially if you are working with third-party APIs. The structure of the object is not in your control. And you have to work with what you get.

Here are 3 tools that I found super helpful in scenarios like this

1. JSONLint

JSONLint is a validator and reformatter for JSON. You can copy paste, or directly type in the editor and it validates and format your messy JSON.

2. JSON Editor Online

It allows you to transform and compare your JSON. You can Configure schema, inspect and query JSON with ease.

3. JSON Path Finder

It allows you to find the path of an item in a JSON object. You can expand and select elements in a tree view. And it gives the dot notation of the currently selected piece of data.
