behold, jsonifier

Just a simple tool I hacked together last night. I wanted to paste a bunch of JSON for reference in an IRC channel, but the JSON that I wanted to paste was not formatted. I didn't quickly find a pastebin that formatted JSON for me so I just made one. It's probably so simple that it's borderline useless, but here it is! http://jsonifier.com/ example output: http://jsonifier.com/paste/4e3f84b46f3b792dde000000

In plain words

Jsonifier is a simple online tool that formats and stores JSON code for easy sharing. Users paste unformatted JSON data, and the tool automatically formats it and generates a shareable link, making it useful for developers who need to reference structured data in chat applications or online discussions. The service provides a straightforward alternative to general-purpose pastebins for JSON-specific content.

    I'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.…
