Rubat (ID: 0000000c3ceb9fca) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/15/2016 I like the visuals, but it doesn't work on online JSON files that do not report them selves as json files, like so many other JSON formatters.

Neb (ID: 0000007edf1c28fb) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/14/2016 On linux, this extension overrides many pages default font to monospace.

Reece Hart (ID: 0000005de4a504b8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/17/2016 I tried 5 and kept this one. Although I miss the tree view of others, the finder-ish interface is a winner for navigating big json files.
