#2Looks like the HN effect is happening already -- the "Demo" link to Github shows this:
{
"message": "API rate limit exceeded for 52.53.190.53. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting"

#3Pretty cool, but there should be a warning not to enter in API credentials (through the URI) on this page, as the request is proxied to jsonbrowse.com
Re: Show HN: JSON Browse – Fetch, filter and manipulate your JSON inside the browser
#4why would I use this over something like postman or RESTClient?

That's fair. CORS is a bitch.

YEs, CORS is the reason for this and the code for this proxy is open source and very simple[0]. I didn't want to add disclaimers to clutter the UI nor did I wanted to build a browser extension as it would suffer from same trust issues (you still need to trust the extension developer).
For full transparency, the proxy is hosted on Zeit's `now` service and I don't even have access to logs so accidental leaks should be pretty safe.

JSON Browse is like a glorified JSON prettifier with some `jq` style filtering features and not really a REST client even though it features remote fetching for convenience.

#9I wrote a similar tool awhile ago, though it runs on the command line.

It's intended for reading structure logs - a file containing json objects separated by newlines.

This is really impressive. Another good JSON tool that I would recommend is jq which has been on HN a few times: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
