Simple chrome extension to format JSON responses. Load the extension and click the "J" icon to format a response.
This plugin hasn't been uploaded to the Chrome Web Store yet. Instead you can add this extension to Chrome by:
- Downloading the code and unzipping
- Browse to chrome://extensions in Chrome
- Click on the "Load Unpacked" button in the top left
- Browse to the jsonformat folder that you just unzipped and select it
- The extension should be installed! I recommend pinning it and allowing it in incognito
For whatever reason Chrome does not provide a prettified JSON viewer like Firefox does. This has led to there being a variety of JSON beautifier plugins in the Chrome Web Store.
These extensions often have the ability to read and modify all the pages I visit. Some extensions have gone further and added forms of monitoring to their extension. I don't really want to trust these extensions with my browsing data.
Instead of being capable of running on every page this plugin takes a much less invasive approach by just formating JSON when you click on the extension icon.
