If you indent your code manually then you can achieve something that I feel looks quite similar. So the example they give would be written as: {"squadName": "Super hero squad", "homeTown": "Metro City", "formed": 2016, "secretBase": "Super tower", "active": true, "members": [{"name": "Molecule Man", "age": 29, "secretIdentity": "Dan Jukes", "powers": ["Radiation resistance", "Turning tiny", "Radiation blast"]}, {"nam…

If you climb to the top of a really tall mountain you'll get a similar perspective to what Google Maps provides.

That’s not really fair. At the moment we communicate and read json in text, so formatting the text to be human-readable and reasonably arranged often (although not always) matters.

Looks good. Unfortunately most JSON (I personally handle) contains private information and I would never paste it into a web page.

You can run this on your local machine https://github.com/AykutSarac/jsonvisio.com

I see that this contains code that sends and fetch data to a lot of services for ads, tracking...

I am curious, who needs to visualise these datas? What I am interested in is validation. it's the same as with XML, or any transitional data formats, if I need to fix something I work on a specific set of the data and make sure that it is valid. If it is not I fix it. If I want to visualize data I use it at the endpoints, ie. in Excel or in PowerBI.

I thought this was a new feature in Microsoft Visio initially. Would “JSON Visio” be a breach of their trademark? https://trademarks.justia.com/742/75/visio-74275413.html

Only matters if Microsoft sues. GitHub-owner era Microsoft tends to want to stay in the open source community’s good graces. (Plus I’m sure the owner would just change the name if MS asked, anyway) That being said, this is also a diagramming tool… I probably would recommend changing it

They'd probably (or I hope they would) ask nicely first, cease-and-desist second, and sue as a last resort.

Whether or not Microsoft allows the use may not be fully at their discretion; or rather their earlier choices could tie their hands in regards to later choices if things go south.

This is a short read on the kinds of issues that start to crop up when you don't agressively enforce your trademarks:

Personally I've never had a problem reading through json, I mean its designed that way to be flat and simple, but this could be brilliant for documentation, even auto updating with some schema changes etc. Super useful for me in that way so thanks!

if it contains very large, nested objects, it can be harder to get an overview or navigate

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ads?

We prefer to call them contextually preferred mountaintop suggestions. To suggest otherwise would be to suggest that our entire industry is built on nothing more than peak comedy.
