JSON Explorer

Explore the structure and contents of a group of JSONs, like responses from an API.

Installation

pip install json-explorer

JSON Explorer is a small tool with no dependencies and is tested in Python 3.7+.

Getting started

Get started by writing a few JSONs you want to explore to a file, one per line. Then run json-explorer from the command line:

json-explorer data_from_an_undocumented_API.jsonl

If you just want to try it out but don't have JSONs in a file, you can run json-explorer --example to see how it works with example data.

This will pop up a web page that helps you explore the properties of the objects, what data types are in there, what values are unique, and more.

From there, you might use jq or jmespath to write something to more read the data that you're interested in using.

For more details, see the full documentation.

Other tools to help with JSON data

This tool is intended for quick and dirty exploration of JSONs. If that's not what you need, there are a lot of great resources for working with JSON data. Here is an awesome list.

There are a couple tools in the python ecosystem that complement JSON Explorer:

  • GenSON can create a JSON Schema from a group of JSONs.

  • jmespath.py. The official Python implementation fo the JMESPath query language for JSON.

Also, there are many tools for viewing/navigating individual JSONs, a

  • JSON View. A simple browser extension to view JSONs, that's available for several browsers.

  • JSON Hero. A full-featured JSON visualization tool.
