Format your json with userscript
I have created a very small userscript for opera (might work ok with other browsers) that formats /indents/ beautifies the JSON data in a document if it's only JSON there. For opera to open the JSON by itself and this to work (the default is to present it as a download), you will have to enable that in opera. Go to preferences -> advanced -> downloads -> Add Mimetype: application/json Select open with opera That will result in your JSON looking like this in the browser:
//== UserScript ==
// @name JSON formatter
// @version 1.0
// @description Formats JSON if the document only contains JSON
// @compability Only tested with Opera, might work with others
// @author Martin Hansen
// @website http://martinhansen.no
// ==/UserScript==
(function(){ var indentation = 4; //Change this to vary the indentation
var pre = document.querySelector('body pre:only-child');
if (!pre) return; //Don't do anything if this don't seem to be a json only document
try {
pre.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(pre.innerHTML), null, indentation);
} catch (e) {
console.log(e);
}
})();
Either save the sourcecode directly from here, or get it from userscripts.org
