JSON(JavaScript object annotations) is a popular lightweight data interchange format that has become common on the web. JSON is well known for making it easy for developers to use and easy for machines to parse and generate.
It’s not surprising that JSON has caught the attention of tool builders, who have developed numerous tools for reformatting, validating, and parsing JSON. These tools range from online utilities that run in Web browsers to plug-ins for Code editors and ides, such as Visual Studio Code and Eclipse.
Nine of them are described below.
1, JSONLint
JSONLint from CircleCell is an online validation and reformatting tool for JSON. Developers can paste or enter JSON into an editor, or enter a URL. JSONLint can validate “messy” JSON code and also parse it. If the user will? Reformat =compress is added to urls, and JSONLint can also be used as a JSON compression tool.
Where can I access JSONLint?
JSONLint can be accessed online (jsonlint.com/). The source code for the tool can be found on GitHub (github.com/circlecell/…) .
2, JSONCompare
JSONCompare, an advanced version of JSONLint, validates JSON code directly. It can upload and validate multiple batch JSON files simultaneously, and compare and merge two JSON objects. JSONCompare has simple mode, batch mode, and differential mode. Like JSONLint, JSONCompare was developed by CircleCell.
Where can I access JSONCompare?
You can find JSONCompare online (jsoncompare.com/). The source code can be found on GitHub (github.com/circlecell/…) .
3, JTC
Jtc stands for JSON Test Console, and this CLI tool is used to extract, process, and transform source JSON. Developers can use JTC to select one or more elements from the source JSON and perform operations on them immediately, such as wrapping selected elements into new JSON, filtering in and out, or updating elements. The user interface allows for a large number of changes with a single command.
Linux and MacOS compilation binaries are available for download.
Where can I download JTC?
JTC can be downloaded from GitHub (github.com/ldn-softdev…) .
4, ijson
Originally developed in 2016, IJSON is an iterative JSON parsing tool with a standard Python iterator interface. The most common use is for IJSON to generate native Python objects from JSON streams below the prefix. Ijson provides several implementations of actual parsing: the C-based YAJL(another JSON library) or the Python back end.
Where can I download iJSON?
Ijson can be downloaded from PyPI (pypi.org/project/ijs…) .
5. JSON formatting and validators
JSON Formatter and Validator This online tool is designed to format and beautify JSON to make it easier to read and debug. Because the OUTPUT of JSON is not wrapped (to save space), it can be difficult to read and understand. Developers using this online formatting tool simply paste JSON or A URL.
JSON formatting and validator bookmarks can be used to format and validate common JSON urls.
Where can I access the JSON formatter and validator?
Can access the JSON format on the Internet and the validator (jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/).
Altova XMLSpy JSON and XML editor
Altova XMLSpy is a JSON and XML editing tool that provides tools for editing, modeling, transforming, and debugging XML-related technologies. The main tools include graphical pattern designers, code generation tools, file converters, debuggers, and profilers for processing XSLT, XSD, XBRL, and SOAP. XMLSpy uses RaptorXML Server for JSON validation and processing.
Where can I download the Altova XMLSpy?
A free trial version of AltovaXMLSpy can be downloaded from the Altova website (www.altova.com/xmlspy-xml-…) .
7. Code Beautify JSON
The Code Beautify JSON tool includes JSON viewers, JSON editors, JSON validators, and CONVERters such as JSON-to-HTML, Json-to-XML, and Json-to-YAML. Excel to JSON converters and JSON miniators are also provided.
Code Beautify also provides an online script editor, Beautify, reductor, and converter for XML, HTML, CSV, CSS, RSS, SQL, Bas64, and other data formats and file types.
Where can I access the Code Beautify JSON tool?
The CodeBeautifyJSON tool is available online (codebeautify.org/json-tools).
8, Visual Studio Code
Microsoft’s popular code editor has built-in support for editing JSON files. This includes validation for attributes and values, quick navigation, code folding, and recommendations through IntelliSense.
Hovering over the properties and values of JSON data provides additional context. VS Code will use the associated JSON schema to understand the structure of the JSON file.
Where can I download Visual Studio Code?
Can be downloaded from the project web site Visual Studio Code (code.visualstudio.com/Download).
Eclipse JSON editor plug-in
The free JSON editor plug-in for the Eclipse IDE includes custom syntax highlighting, code folding, formatting, and editing capabilities, and provides a synchronous tree view. Syntax tree parsing is also provided. The Eclipse JSON editor plug-in complies with the RFC 4627 JSON standard.
Where can I download the Eclipse JSON editor plug-in?
From the Eclipse Marketplace download Eclipse JSON editor plug-in (marketplace.eclipse.org/content/jso…). .
