Json Browser

A tool for making sense of large JSON structures while debugging. It sends the JSON to a website and outputs a direct URL where you can browse the JSON structure.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jsonbrowser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jsonbrowser

JsonBrowser({ a: { b: [{ x: 13, y: 49}, { x: 45, y: -35 }], c: [3, 4]}})
# "https://json.jkl.me/documents/FFdTSmypfT"

You can supply a JSON String, Hash, Array, or any object that responds to one of to_json, as_json, to_hash, to_h, to_array, to_a or serializable_hash.

You can host the web app yourself and add this configuration:

JsonBrowser.root = 'http://json.local' # no trailing slash

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
