JSONView: An Edge Add-on for Viewing JSON Documents

"JSONView" is an Edge add-on designed to enhance the viewing of JSON documents in your browser. Instead of seeing plain text when encountering "application/json", JSONView formats and highlights the document. Not only that, it allows arrays and objects to be collapsed for better readability. Interestingly, it continues to display the raw text even with errors in the document. Simply install it and observe the enhancements when viewing JSON documents.
