JSON Viewer Plus: The Last JSON Extension You'll Ever Need

Hey fellow developers! Let me tell you a story about why I created JSON Viewer Plus. Like many of you, I've tried countless JSON viewer extensions over the years. Each had some great features, but none had everything I needed in one place. After reviewing user feedback across various JSON viewers and experiencing the limitations firsthand, I decided to build something that would end the constant search for the "perfect" JSON viewer.

Why Another JSON Viewer?

Before you think "oh great, another JSON formatter," let me be clear: JSON Viewer Plus isn't just another entry in a crowded field. It's the result of extensive research into what developers actually need and want. I've analyzed:

  • Top feature requests across existing viewers
  • Common pain points in developer workflows
  • Missing functionalities in popular extensions
  • Real-world usage patterns
