My Personal Experience
As a developer, I have found the JSON Formatter Chrome extension to be an invaluable tool. It has significantly improved my workflow by saving me time and effort in parsing and understanding JSON data.
One of the highlights for me is the dark mode option. Working long hours staring at bright screens can be tiring on the eyes, but with the dark mode, I can now focus on the data without any distractions.
The auto-formatting feature works seamlessly, making even the messiest JSON structures easy to read. The syntax highlighting is a great addition, as it helps me quickly identify key elements and properties.
Collapsible trees with indent guides have been a game-changer for navigating large JSON files. With just a few clicks, I can expand or collapse nested objects, making it a breeze to find the information I need.
The clickable URLs feature is particularly useful when dealing with JSON that includes external resources. I can access those resources directly from the JSON Formatter, saving me the hassle of copying and pasting URLs into a separate browser tab.
One concern that some users have raised in their reviews is the performance impact on non-JSON pages. However, based on my experience, the impact is negligible, with less than 1 millisecond of delay.
It's worth mentioning that if you encounter any issues with the extension, you may need to disable other DOM-modifying extensions that could potentially clash with it. The developer is actively addressing issues, so open an issue on the GitHub page if you encounter any problems.
Protecting Your Privacy
Privacy is a top priority with the JSON Formatter Chrome extension. There is no tracking, no advertising, and no hidden agenda. You can use this extension with peace of mind, knowing that your data and browsing habits are secure.
Ready to enhance your JSON parsing experience? Head over to the Chrome Web Store and add the JSON Formatter extension to your browser. Say goodbye to tangled JSON and hello to organized and readable data!

It has malware
Malwarebyte detected this extension to be PUP.Optional.Hijacker
Uninstalling after seeing others have mentioned injection

This extension is riddled with connections to things you wont want and has no business being in a json formatter. This should be removed from the chrome store... Open the extension folder in vscode and give files to gpt and tell you what chrome extension is this and what urls does it try to access, and you wont be amused (48 of them).
Injects ads for Give Freely at checkout pages.
