Products that do what I made a simple VSCode extension to sort and compare jsons does
There is no guarantee that two generated JSON files will have the same order of keys and values, which can make comparing two JSON files difficult, even if they are identical in content but different in order. To solve this issue, I created a simple VSCode extension that sorts and then compares two JSON files.

TYON (typed object notation) is my attempt to address the main frustrations I have with JSON. 1. Key repetition - you can specify the key names once at the start of a list or map, instead of on each object separately. 2. Escaping strings - everything in a string is literal except for " which is escaped as "". This makes writing regexes and multiline text easier without introducing a bunch of different string styles or excess escaping, which I am not a fan of. 3. While not nearly as important as the first two to me, I did reduce symbol clutter when possible. Files are implicitly maps, keys…

Hi HN, I’m building SEE (Semantic Entropy Encoding): a searchable compression format for JSON/NDJSON. Goal: reduce the “data tax” (storage/egress) and “CPU tax” (decompress/parse) by keeping JSON searchable while compressed, with page-level random access. I just published a proof-first evaluation release: Offline DEMO ZIP (~10 min): prints compression ratios + skip rates + lookup latency (p50/p95/p99) DD pack: audit/repro evidence (decode mismatch=0, extended mismatch=0, audit PASS) Latest release:…

We've all been there: you have some JSON data you need to make sense of, so you Google "json formatter" and end up at a site ridden with ads. I used to look at at lot of JSON (mostly log data) for $oldjob, so I set out to build something better. I know there are a lot of tools in this space, but I've put a lot of love into JSON Dive: things like Vim keyboard shortcuts to navigate, dark mode, timestamp/image previews, and multi-file-format-support (XML-in-JSON was a format I dealt with in the context of LLMs/tool calls). I've also made an effort to ensure it can handle large files,…

Hi HN! Happy to share that jist can now search JSON 17x faster than jq for a provided input (string or a file). The major change is using the bleeding edge simdjson parser as the preferred way of parsing and querying the input. Since simdjson can only work on files up to 4.2GB, jist falls back to its earlier implementation of scanning through input in chunks of 1MB which means it can still query files of virtually infinite size 3x faster than jq ever could while using ~10MB of memory. The next major feature will be summarizing input JSON into a schema - and it will do this by scanning the…
