About JSON Viewer

Paste JSON and navigate it as an interactive tree. Expand and collapse nested objects, search for specific keys, and understand complex data structures at a glance.

While JSON Formatter beautifies text, JSON Viewer lets you explore data visually. Click to expand arrays, see array lengths, identify data types—all without scrolling through thousands of lines of text.

Examples

Tree view vs raw JSON

Compare how the same data looks:

Raw JSON (hard to read):
{"users":[{"id":1,"name":"Alice","roles":["admin"]}]}

Tree View:
▾ users (1 item)
  ▾ 0
      id: 1
      name: "Alice"
    ▾ roles (1 item)
        0: "admin"

Identifying data types

Types are color-coded for quick scanning:

{
  "name": "Alice"      → string (green)
  "age": 30            → number (blue)
  "active": true       → boolean (purple)
  "manager": null      → null (gray)
  "roles": [...]       → array (shows count)
  "profile": {...}     → object (expandable)
}

Navigating large arrays

Quickly see array sizes without expanding:

▾ data
  ▸ users (1,523 items)     ← click to expand
  ▸ products (847 items)
  ▸ orders (12,405 items)
  
Expand only what you need
