BracketView Feature Update: Faster API + JSON Workflows in One Place

If you work with JSON daily, this update should make your day easier.
Here is what is new in BracketView:

1. Built-in API Tester

API Tester - Request tabs (Params/Auth/Headers/Body)
You can now test APIs directly inside BracketView instead of jumping between tools.

  • Methods: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
  • Request sections: Params, Auth, Headers, Body
  • Body types like raw, form-data, graphql, binary, and more
  • Open response JSON directly in the Viewer

2. Shareable JSON Snapshots

Share Snapshot popup with optional annotation fields
You can generate a public snapshot link and share JSON quickly with teammates.

  • Optional annotation while sharing
  • Add a JSONPath + note to explain important fields
  • Replaces older P2P sharing that required receiver-side setup
  • Receiver can now open a single generated link to view the content
  • Great for reviews, bug reports, and async discussions

3. Better support for large JSON files (up to 50MB)

Viewer with a large payload loaded
Large payloads are now much more usable in BracketView.

  • Smoother loading and viewing for heavy files
  • Better experience for logs, exports, and big API responses

4. AI Mock Data Generator

Schema page Mock tab with profile + rows + generated dataset
Mock data generation is now built into the Schema page in a dedicated tab.

  • Paste or import a schema
  • Pick how many rows you want
  • Add a profile like users or employees
  • Generate realistic test data quickly

5. JQ + JSONPath together

Dual-mode query panel showing mode switch
You can now query JSON in both styles in one place:

  • JQ for advanced filtering and transforms
  • JSONPath for familiar path-based queries

This makes BracketView easier for mixed teams and different query preferences.

If you already use BracketView, try the new flow and let me know what you want next:
