The magic of JSON on-line tools

Found some great tools of JSONCompare, JSON Editor, JSON Studio and JSON Viewer. Here is a note to future self, in case I’d have to use them in any project.

  • JSONCompare:
  • JSON Editor Online:
    • Edit JSON files in fully WYSIWYG mode with a lot of useful tools
    • Whole JSON or selected part can be edited as: plain text, tree or table
    • Save JSON data to cloud (1 MB limit) or to file, send as URL, export to CSV where possible
    • For 3 USD per month you get add-free and for 6 USD per month you can save private JSONs to the cloud
  • JSON Studio:
    • Is slow and has some bugs, but also has some fabulous features
    • Can minify and format (beautify) JSON with one click (Others button)
    • Tracks history of your edits which can save your ass in some situations
    • Can render JSON as a graphic tree (click Zoom+ or Zoom- if nothing seems rendered)
    • Can render JSON as an expandable table / grid (for nested objects has a bug and shows only first column)
    • Can generate a class diagram of DB structure (with relations!) to store your JSON in database
    • Can convert between JSON, YAML and CSV both ways (nested objects can’t be exported to CSV)
    • Also can compare two JSONs and look for possible differencies
  • JSON Viewer can only validate correctness of a JSON and beautify it

Well… that would all folks! :)
