24 alternatives to JSON Dive – A better online JSON viewer
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,…

After two years of improvement, I think it's time to share it with you all. Here’s a quick overview: - Common features include validation, formatting, minification, and more. - Visualize JSON in a graph or table view. - Structured comparison with fallback to text comparison. - Navigate though JSON using JSON pointer. - Supports jq. Would love to hear the community's questions, thoughts and comments!

JSON Query▲154I'm working on a tool that will probably involve querying JSON documents and I'm asking myself how to expose that functionality to my users. I like the power of `jq` and the fact that LLMs are proficient at it, but I find it right out impossible to come up with the right `jq` incantations myself. Has anyone here been in a similar situation? Which tool / language did you end up exposing to your users?

JSONBason▲15I've been at it again, just sharing my simple JSON data inspection tool, love webdev and single page apps, this one took 4 days and was a lot of fun. The code is not obfuscated so you can inspect it and see how it works (very simple, server side is even more simple) Pretty much just do a POST of your JSON data from within your code and it will convert it into a basic table for instant search and sort. Made with love for the fun of it, no ads, no paid anything, it's totally free. Please only send in sanitized/test data only, this is meant to help make webdev a bit easier and more fun.…

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:…

Hey NN, I've create a tool that allows you to easily manipulate and transform json data. After looking round for something to allow me to perform json to json transformations I couldn't find any easy to use tools or libraries that offered this sort of functionality without requiring learning obscure syntax adding unnecessary complexity to my work or the alternative being manual changes often resulting in lots of errors or bugs. This is why I built JSON Transformer in the hope it will make these sort of tasks as simple as they should be. Would love to get your thoughts and feedback you have…

Tooly▲5I kept opening online JSON formatters and getting buried in ads and popups. So I made a clean version with a few tools I actually use daily – JSON formatter with syntax highlighting, Base64 encoder/decoder, JWT decoder, text diff, and timestamp converter. Everything runs client-side. No tracking, no server calls, no signup walls. Built with React 19 and TypeScript. It's open source: https://github.com/chken007/tooly My 5-year-old helped name it. She insisted on "Tooly" and I couldn't argue with that logic. Open to feedback – especially if you spot bugs or have…

JSONXMLKit▲13I built this because I was constantly switching tabs to format JSON or XML, or decode Base64 — and many of the tools I found were either bloated, sent my data to a server, or just didn’t support things like XPath or JSONPath. JSONXMLKit runs 100% in-browser, and includes: JSON and XML formatters Path search with JSONPath and XPath File-based Base64 encoder/decoder (images, PDFs, etc.) No login, no uploads. Just a set of quick, client-side tools I needed and decided to share. Feedback welcome!
