JSON Formatter Extension
Auto-formats JSON when you load it in a browser tab.
FEATURES
- Fast, even on very long JSON pages

- Collapsible trees, with indent guides
- Clickable URLs
- Negligible performance impact on non-JSON pages (less than 1 millisecond)

Note: this extension might clash with other browser extensions that modify the DOM before it runs. If it doesn't seem to be working, try disabling other extensions. If it clashes with an extension you need, open an issue and I'll try to find a solution.
