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 instance, I am using the “Dog Breeds” API response. After I copy the JSON response and paste it into the JSON pane, I can generate the image by clicking anywhere on the canvas. Isn’t that cool? For the first time, I was astounded to see this 🤩
