Post by loggerhead » Tue, Sep 24, 2024, 8:20 AM UTC

After two years of improvement, I think it's time to share it with you all. Here’s a quick overview:

- Common features include validation, formatting, minification, and more.

- Visualize JSON in a graph or table view.

- Structured comparison with fallback to text comparison.

- Navigate though JSON using JSON pointer.

- Supports jq.

Would love to hear the community's questions, thoughts and comments!

What I’m hungry for is not so much this coherent application for exploring json data but rather a set of React components to integrate explorations like this into a web app.

Does anybody know of any good components or libraries for that?

What about an embedded version of the website? I have seriously considered the need for an embedded version, and I plan to support it with high priority. But I'm not sure how much people actually need it.

So it runs everything locally/in web worker, but there's a monthly quota and it requires a paid plan of $9.99 monthly to keep running it on my own machine?

Not really, it’s the home page of the online editor. Was it my use of "Get Started" that confused you? I might have used it inappropriately, I'm not sure.

Already uses React, so might be able to rip some of the components out

Yes, but you can also deploy it locally, so you can use it for free. May I ask, do you think that programs running locally are not worth paying for if it is open source?
