DevBox Showcase: JSON Explorer

#productivity #tutorial #tooling

Hi 👋,

This is the next post in the series showcasing tools from DevBox 🎉, an application (desktop, browser extension or web) that contains many useful tools and cheat-sheets.

Did you ever had to dive deep into a JSON file? DevBox has a tool for that: you can check a JSON object interactively using a column based UI.

Here is a short video about it:

Some notable features:

Clicking on a field will open up a column on the right side with its information or it's child fields in the case of an object or array.
It can detect non-standard fields such as colors and URLs.
Show statistics for strings (words, lines, bytes).
Show different formats of the color (RGBA, HSLA).
Show parts of the URL (origin, host, path, etc...).

More DevBox showcases are coming, so follow me here if you want to be notified!
