One Extension, Every JSON Feature: The Complete Story of JSON Viewer Plus

As a developer, I've always believed that the best tools are the ones that anticipate your needs before you even realize you have them. That's the philosophy behind JSON Viewer Plus - an extension I built to be the complete solution for every JSON-related task you might encounter. Let me walk you through everything this powerhouse can do.

The Complete Feature Breakdown

📊 Core Formatting Capabilities

Let's start with the basics - but trust me, there's nothing basic about how JSON Viewer Plus handles them:

1. Automatic Formatting

   • Instant detection and formatting of JSON content
   • Clean, consistent structure
   • Zero effort required - it just works

2. Syntax Highlighting

   • 20+ carefully crafted themes
   • Distinct colors for different data types
   • Eye-friendly color schemes for both dark and light modes

3. Customizable Indentation
   

   {
     "spaces": "Use 2 or 4 spaces",
     "or": {
       "tabs": "If that's your style"
     }
   }

🔍 Navigation & Analysis Tools

Every feature here was born from real-world needs:

1. Smart Object Navigation

   • Fold/unfold capability for nested objects
   • Array size indicators
   • One-click expansion/collapse

2. JSONPath Integration

       "nested": {
         "data": "Hover to see: $.deeply.nested.data"
       }
     }
   }

1. Array Analytics

   {
     "users": [
       {"id": 1},
       {"id": 2}
     ] // Instantly shows: Array[2]
   }
