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.

Maintaining Secrets as part of your Postman Variables!!

 

Masking the values of the variables

Hello People,

How are you all doing? I thought of writing a small article with one of the small features added to Postman, it looks small but its powerful and useful feature.

If you are new to the concept of variables, kindly read this blog post before proceeding here.

If you are already a Postman user and doing more demos using your Postman app, then this is definitely for you.

Based on your project requirements, you can select and use any variable. But we have an option for setting the variable type as default/secret for both Global and Environment variables. Still the option is not provided for collection variables.

So how do you do?

While creating your variables, you have an option to mark that as “default”/”secret”. By doing so, the application will mask the values and when you are sharing your screen now it will be much easier.

Here is how we do it:

Step 1:

Login and open your workspace

Step 2:

Navigate to your respective collection

Step 3:

Click on the “Eye” icon at the top left corner

Step 4:

Now you have an option to add variables, where in you can select the “type”

Step 5:

Tada, it’s done. Not the secret values are masked and the default ones are visible

Quite a simple and powerful feature right?

I was actually waiting for this, since I am doing a lot of demo’s/workshops using my Postman and this makes my screen sharing more easier. Hope this is helpful for you too!!

See you soon in my next post.
