freesimplejsonviewer 🚀

A user-friendly tool to view, analyze, and interact with JSON and JSONL data.

freesimplejsonviewer provides an intuitive graphical interface built with FreeSimpleGUI to make JSON exploration seamless. It features a side-by-side view for raw JSON input and a structured tree display, along with powerful filtering capabilities using JSONPath.

✨ Key Features

• Dual Pane Interface:
  • Left Pane: Input single JSON objects or multiple JSON objects in JSONL format (one JSON object per line).
  • Right Pane: Interactive tree view of the parsed JSON, clearly showing keys, values, levels, and hierarchy.
• JSONL Support:
  • Handles JSONL files or input.
  • Displays the selected JSONL row in the tree view.
  • Efficiently loads large JSONL files (initially showing a subset if very large - feature mentioned in functions.md, implementation details may vary).
• Interactive Tree View:
  • Expand and collapse nodes to explore complex JSON structures.
  • Clear distinction between keys and values.
• JSONPath Filtering:
  • Filter the JSON data displayed in the tree view using JSONPath expressions for precise data extraction.
  • Quick help for JSONPath syntax.
• Pretty Print:
  • Format the JSON in the input pane with a "Pretty JSON" button.
• Status Bar: Provides feedback on operations and errors.

🛠️ Installation

1. Clone the repository (or download the source):

   git clone https://github.com/fxyzbtc/freesimplejsonviewer.git
   cd pysimplejson
   

2. Ensure you have Python 3.12+ installed.

3. Install dependencies: The project uses uv for package management (as indicated by uv.lock). If you have uv installed:

   uv pip install -r requirements.txt 
   

   (You might need to generate requirements.txt from pyproject.toml first if it's not present: uv pip freeze > requirements.txt or uv pip compile pyproject.toml -o requirements.txt)

   Alternatively, using pip with pyproject.toml:

   pip install .
   

   This will install pysimplejson and its dependencies:

   • freesimplegui>=5.2.0.post1
   • jsonpath-ng>=1.7.0

🚀 Usage

To run the freesimplejsonviewer application:

python freesimplejsonviewer/main.py

Once the application starts:

1. Paste your JSON or JSONL content into the "JSON Input" text area on the left.
2. The JSON tree view on the right will automatically update.
   • If using JSONL, click on a line in the input (or have a mechanism to select a line) to see it in the tree view.
3. Use the "JSONPath Filter" input and "Apply Filter" button to query the displayed JSON.
4. Use "Expand All" / "Collapse All" for the tree view as needed.
5. Use "Pretty JSON" to format the input in the left pane.

🧩 Dependencies

• FreeSimpleGUI: For the graphical user interface.
• jsonpath-ng: For JSONPath filtering capabilities.
