JSON Browser

Welcome to the IntelliJ JSON Explorer Plugin, a powerful tool for developers working with JSON files directly within their favorite IDE. This plugin provides a rich, intuitive experience for visualizing, comparing, and editing JSON data, ensuring maximum productivity with minimal effort.

🌟 Features

1. Multiple JSON Views

Explore your JSON data in the view that suits your needs:

• JSON View: A raw, yet structured view for direct manipulation.
• Table View: View JSON data in a tabular format, allowing easy navigation through key-value pairs.
• Tree View: A hierarchical view of your JSON, perfect for exploring deeply nested structures.

2. JSON Comparison

Easily compare two JSON files side-by-side to see:

• Nodes Added: Identifies new elements introduced in the updated JSON.
• Nodes Removed: Tracks items that have been deleted.
• Nodes Modified: Highlights changes in values for existing keys.

This feature is especially useful for version control, code reviews, or verifying the integrity of your data.

3. Interactive Table Editing

• Double-click Editing: In the Table View, you can double-click on any cell to open a detailed view of the JSON element in a subpanel. From there, you can choose different view modes to further inspect or edit the JSON.
• Nested JSON Support: Seamlessly explore and edit deeply nested JSON elements within the table view.

4. Offline Functionality

Designed with corporate users in mind, the plugin works entirely offline. This means:

• No Internet Connection Required: All JSON operations (viewing, comparing, editing) happen locally on your machine.
• Data Privacy and Security: Since no data is sent over the internet, it is ideal for environments where data privacy is paramount.

🛡️ Corporate Use Case

This plugin was built with corporate environments in mind, where data privacy is crucial. Since it operates entirely offline:

• You don’t need to worry about sensitive data being uploaded or shared with online services.
• All processing happens locally, making it a safe choice for companies with strict data protection policies.
