[opensuse] What's a good JSON viewer?
All, Is there a decent JSON viewer in the distro or in OBS. I'm trying a firefox plug-in (JSONview) and I'm not very impressed. Thanks Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Good question. I normally use vi, which probably shows how much JSON I try to read! I looked at the blurb for JSONview and downloaded example.json and ran it through json_xs, which I happen to have installed only to find: malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 ["\x{feff}{"hey": "guy..."] Looking at section 3 (Encoding) of the JSON spec http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627 it is quite explicit that there shouldn't be a BOM there! So my 5 minute view of the plug-in is also 'not very impressed' and I haven't even installed it! Searching for some combination of json, tidy, beautifier finds lots of possibilities. After I stripped the BOM, json_xs produces similar results as http://jsbeautifier.org/, though the order of fields differs.

How about Firebug?
How do you persuade Firebug to show you JSON? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Google for "json viewer" shows lots of items. Google is your friend!

Excellent! Thanks very much for pointing that out. I'll use that from now on. Greg, AFAICT, it shows the JSON in a couple of different ways: a plain text view in the console and a whizzy featured version in the Net tab. It works for application/json; don't know about other MIME types, but not if its a file. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
