JSONovich Pretty-prints JSON content in the Firefox family of browsers for easy, unobtrusive viewing.    JSONovich is a Firefox (and SeaMonkey) extension that pretty-prints JSON content of various types directly in a browser tab. It uses the browser's native JSON parser and a custom-built formatter to produce its output. Normally, Firefox would prompt to download JSON sent with the correct application/json mime-type. JSONovich makes working with JSON and debugging output from web services easier by formatting JSON nicely inside the browser. Features - Syntax highlighting of JSON elements. [since 0.1]
- Indentation according to JSON object/array nesting level. [since 0.1]
- Line numbering based on JSON nodes and brackets, long strings always count as a single line. [since 0.8]
- Collapsible objects and arrays (whole line is clickable, not just a tiny +/- symbol). [since 1.5]
- Subtle zebra-stripes for easier reading. [since 1.7]
- Preserves formatting accurately when copying to clipboard, excluding line numbers. [since 0.9]
- Currently supports the following MIME types by default:
The above list is customisable by user preferences. [since 1.8.2] - Supports loading JSON from files on disk with the following extensions by default:
The above list is customisable by user preferences. [since 1.8.2] - Adds application/json to the default HTTP Accept header to make working with CouchDB easier. [since 1.1, optional since 1.8.2]
- Can override the default HTTP Accept header for individual hosts to either remove application/json or add it with a specific quality factor. [since 1.9]
- Options can be changed via the Add-ons Manager in Firefox 7+, Mobile 7+ and SeaMonkey 2.4+. [since 1.9]
- Options can be changed via about:config (extensions.jsonovich branch) in all browsers. [since 1.8]
- Restartless (even in older browsers, partially). [since 1.8]
- Full support for documents served with unusual character sets as well as the official UTF8. [fixed in 1.9]
Testing FAQ - What's with the weird name?
JSONovich is named after Pavement member Bob Nastanovich primarily because he seems like a swell guy. - And the logo?
That's called an Ambihelical Hexnut, an optical illusion similar to the impossible torus that is the JSON logo. Bugs To report a problem, please create an issue. Working on the code - Checkout the code.
- Create a clean browser profile for development.
- Place a proxy file in your profile/extensions directory called jsonovich@lackoftalent.org (no .txt extension). It should contain the path to the checked out src directory including a trailing slash.
- There is also a jake build system for those with node.
- Hack at code.
- To see changes, either disable and re-enable the addon to save time, or restart the browser to be sure unload bugs don't affect the next test.
- Attach any patches to issues here and we can integrate them in the next release.
