JSON Editor is a must-have editor for JSON, JSON5 and JSON Lines data. In a clean, uncluttered and user-friendly interface, it allows you to create, visualize, modify, validate, format and save your JSON documents. Along with the included HTTP Client, is a powerful tool to inspect and debug your API endpoints. JSON Editor has the smarts needed to make the minimum changes when editing a file, even in the "outline" mode. This is especially useful when you keep the files in a repository, because only the relevant changes will be shown when diff-ing the edited files. MAJOR FEATURES • Supported JSON formats: JSON (classic), JSON Lines, JSON5 • View and edit your JSON documents in "outline" or "text" modes • The "outline" mode offers a great and error proof way to manipulate your JSON, by allowing you to easily add, reorder, delete, copy & paste the items • The "text" mode offers a quick way to interact with the raw text which makes up the JSON and to investigate invalid JSONs OUTLINE MODE • Multiple selection - select multiple siblings and perform standard operations (i.e. cut, copy, paste, delete, reorder) • Sort selected items or all the children of a parent item • Auto-detect if the document is human readable or compact, and preserve this format • Find & Replace - configure where the Find (and replace) will take place: in "Key" column or "Value" column or both. • Copy items as: Swift objects, Objective-C objects (both modern and classic syntax), JSON Path strings, XML plists • Embed selected items in Array or Object (dictionary) • Duplicate items • Bulk edit the "value" of multiple items • Increase and decrease font size for better readability • The JSON5 comments can be viewed in the leftmost column by hovering the cursor over the indicator • Undo & redo • Customization options in "Settings/Preferences -> View & Edit -> Outline Editor" TEXT MODE • Syntax coloring, auto-indentation and line numbers • Customize the syntax colors, both for the light appearance and for the dark/black one • Validate the JSON document • Highlight of the validation errors, along with a description of them • Make the JSON document human readable or compact, even if it is not entirely valid • Find & Replace • Increase and decrease font size for better readability • Undo & redo • Customization options available in "Settings -> View & Edit -> Text Editor" HTTP CLIENT • Open HTTP Client window via "Window -> HTTP Client" • HTTP Client allows you to perform HTTP requests. While its main purpose is to ease the fetch of JSON content from a server, it can be used to get or upload any content, including binary. The following HTTP verbs are supported: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD • You can create folders to group the requests. Folders inside folders are supported, too! This is handy to group the projects or APIs you're working with • Automatically detects if response is text or binary, and for binary responses will shows its preview, while also allowing you save it to the desired file • For response bodies which are text, you will have the option to beautify them as JSON and to open them in a new JSON Editor document • Both HTTP authentication (basic, digest) and Proxy authentication, with Keychain integration, are supported • OAuth 2.0 is also supported. In addition to the built-in providers you may add your custom ones, too • Once you have added and setup an OAuth 2.0 authorization you can attach it to a HTTP request - JSON Editor will take care of refreshing and attaching access token to the HTTP request • Export and import HTTP requests and OAuth authorizations OTHER FEATURES • Quick Look Preview extension - allows you to preview the JSON files in Finder • Black appearance - for those who enjoy an even darker appearance • Folder Navigation - browse folders' contents from and choose JSON files to make quick edits or to view their content • Fullscreen • Versions • Services • Command-line/Terminal integration • AppleScript (incl. JXA)
