Project description
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.
