JSON Viewer
How to view JSON data in Chrome?
Viewing JSON data in Chrome can be done through several methods. Chrome automatically formats JSON when you navigate directly to a JSON URL, displaying it with syntax highlighting. For API responses, open Chrome DevTools (F12), go to the Network tab, click on the API request, and select the Response or Preview tab to see formatted JSON. For better visualization, use our JSON Viewer at jsonconsole.com/json-viewer which provides tree view with expand/collapse functionality, making complex JSON much easier to navigate than Chrome's built-in viewer. Install a Chrome extension like JSONView for automatic JSON formatting when opening JSON files. Right-click JSON responses in the Network tab and select "Copy response" to paste into our viewer for advanced features. The Console tab in DevTools can also display JSON from console.log() calls with syntax highlighting and expandable objects.
