JSON Explorer¶

Explore the structure and contents of a group of JSONs, like responses from an API.

pip install json-explorer

JSON Explorer is a small tool with no dependencies and is tested in Python 3.7+.

Get started by writing a few JSONs you want to explore to a file, one per line. Then run json-explorer from the command line:

json-explorer data_from_an_undocumented_API.jsonl

If you just want to try it out but don't have JSONs in a file, you can run json-explorer --example to see how it works with example data.

This will pop up a web page that helps you explore the properties of the objects, what data types are in there, what values are unique, and more.

From there, you might use jq or jmespath to write something to more read the data that you're interested in using.
