JSON Wrangler Extension

This extension makes it so JSON files are displayed in a much nicer and more interactive way in the browser. There already exist various extensions to do this, but they all suffered from being old and unmaintained, or buggy, or missing features I consider vital. In particular they could not cope at all with large files, which this extension can (up to hundreds of megabytes).

Key features:

* Extremely fast compared to the other JSON extensions, and is the only extension that copes with large files.
* The display is aesthetically pleasing but also compact (e.g. small objects and arrays are displayed on one line), and automatically adapts to dark or light mode.
* Toggle objects and arrays closed, including doing so automatically to all children of the item you click on (ctrl-click to do this).
* Displays the JSONPath of the item the mouse is over.
* You can search using regular expressions (type a JavaScript regular expression literal in the search box to do this).
* URLs in strings (including property names) are detected automatically and made clickable.

Michael Carter (ID: 000000d88dba3e72) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/20/2022 I use JSON Wrangler most days because the most convenient way to view a large amount of JSON quickly is pasting the URL into a browser. The key feature of JSON Wrangler for me is the speed at which it can process and display large JSON files. It is very very fast. Other Chrome plugins I have used to view JSON were fine for very small files but with large ones, it was hard to tell if they were still processing a large file, had given up, or until the browser crashed. There are loads of other great features in JSON Wrangler and the search is excellent as it does not hang the whole browser between typing characters in the search bar. This makes the search much faster for large JSON files. Did I mention how very fast it is? :-)
