Developers keep pasting JSON into online formatters and leaking secrets — so I built json-explorer
Developers often face privacy risks when using online JSON formatters to debug API responses. To address this issue, a new tool called json-explorer has been created, allowing users to visualize JSON files locally without uploading sensitive data. This tool provides an interactive interface with features like collapsible trees and live search, ensuring that developers can inspect their data securely.
