How to Visualize your JSON 🕵🏼?

A simple way to view and segregate the complex JSON Hello Peeps, Welcome back to another blog 😉. I hope everything is going well for you. Many people prefer the JSON format for APIs, databases, and other applications for a variety of reasons. Some JSON requests or responses are simple and only contain a few objects. On numerous occasions, you may be required to handle a complex response. I wrote a blog about parsing complex responses before using https://jsonpathfinder.com/ In most cases, however, you will need to further investigate your JSON payload or responses for various reasons and analytical purposes. Are you a visual learner or a fan of mind maps? Then you will undoubtedly fall in love with this tool ❤️ JSON Crack I recently came across this tool and found it’s worth sharing with the community 👓 Once you land on the home page, click “GO TO EDITOR” Now you will see a sample JSON beatified and visualized. To visualize it, clear the left side pane and paste your JSON. For instan

Basics of JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is an open-standard file format or data interchange format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute - value pairs and array data types (or any other serializable value). It is a very common data format, with a diverse range of applications, such as serving as replacement for XML in AJAX systems.

JSON is a language-independent data format. It was derived from JavaScript, but many modern programming languages include code to generate and parse JSON-format data. The official Internet media type for JSON is application/json. JSON file names use the extension .json .

Features of JSON

‭‬Easy to use - JSON API offers high-level facade, which helps you to simplify commonly used use-cases;

Performance - JSON is quite fast as it consumes very less memory space, which is especially suitable for large object graphs or systems;

Free tool - JSON library is open source and free to use.

Doesn't require to create mapping - Jackson API provides default mapping for many objects to be serialized;

Clean JSON - Creates clean, and compatible JSON result that is easy to read;

Dependency - JSON library does not require any other library for processing.

A JSON object contains data in the form of a key/value pair. The keys are strings and the values are the JSON types. Keys and values are separated by colon. Each entry (key/value pair) is separated by comma. The { (curly brace) represents the JSON object. Example of JSON is provided below.

Important benefits/ pros of using JSON:

  • Provide support for all browsers
  • Easy to read and write
  • Straightforward syntax
  • You can natively parse in JavaScript using eval() function
  • Easy to create and manipulate
  • Supported by all major JavaScript frameworks
  • Supported by most backend technologies
  • JSON is recognized natively by JavaScript
  • It allows you to transmit and serialize structured data using a network connection
  • You can use it with modern programming languages
  • JSON is text which can be converted to any object of JavaScript into JSON and send this JSON to the server
