JSON Viewer

Which app opens JSON?

Many applications can open JSON files depending on your needs. For quick viewing and editing, use our online JSON Editor at jsonconsole.com/json-editor which requires no installation. Text editors like VS Code, Sublime Text, Notepad++, and Atom open JSON with syntax highlighting. IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm provide advanced JSON features. For visualization, our JSON Viewer offers tree structure display superior to text editors. On Windows, Notepad can open JSON as plain text. On Mac, TextEdit works for basic viewing. Specialized JSON tools provide validation, formatting, and navigation features that general text editors lack. Browser-based tools like ours eliminate the need for installed applications while providing professional-grade features. For developers, VS Code with JSON extensions offers excellent support. For non-developers or quick tasks, our online tools provide everything needed without installation or configuration.
