JSON Formatter

Chrome extension for printing JSON and JSONP nicely when you visit it 'directly' in a browser tab.

Features

• JSONP support
• Fast, even on long pages
• Works on any valid JSON page – URL doesn't matter
• Syntax highlighting
• Collapsible trees, with indent guides
• Clickable URLs
• Buttons for switching between raw and parsed JSON
• Parsed JSON is exported as a global variable, json, so you can inspect it in the console

A background worker is used to prevent the UI freezing when processing very long JSON pages.
