SP REST JSON

Modifies request header for SharePoint REST API calls to get JSON instead of XML.

SP REST JSON is a handy Chrome extension designed to enhance your SharePoint REST API experience. It alters the accept property in request headers, ensuring that responses come in JSON format rather than raw XML. This makes data easier to read and work with, especially when interacting within Microsoft Edge, where the JSON response is shown directly and formatted for clarity.

Compatible with both SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online, it improves developer productivity by simplifying API responses. Recent updates include dark mode support for the JSON viewer and global options, as well as the ability to customize font size within the JSON viewer to suit your preferences.

User reviews

Almost what I wanted, except I cannot turn the JSON viewer off. I have another JSON viewer which works for any website instead of the matched URLs which this extension handles. So, when I get response, the JSON is displayed twice, per each extension. Could you please provide an option to disable JSON viewer? Thanks for providing this extension though, it is helpful.
