formatter for debugging json, xml and more
very often when i am developing applications i have to work with external services. sometimes the communication is in xml, sometimes it is in json and sometimes it is a very curious nonstandard format. xml and json both have the advantage of being human readable. but very often this advantage is destroyed by using horribly formatted xml and json streams. this makes it much harder to debug. often i end up with a large chunk of xml or json with no linebreaks in it. instead of installing an appplication who can properly format that chunk you can also use online tools. it is very helpful if you can copy/paste the data and don’t have to create a new file, paste it and open it. here is a list of a few:
json formatting
- JSON Formatter very powerfull, great userinterface, also validates input, customizable
- JSON Format it gets a bit slow if you use really large json strings
