Github JSON Editor is a free Chrome plugin developed by techierishi. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically classified as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This handy plugin is designed to assist users who frequently edit JSON files directly on Github repositories.

One common issue that arises when editing JSON files on Github is the lack of validation for syntax errors. This can result in runtime errors when running the application. Github JSON Editor aims to solve this problem by providing a syntax validation feature, ensuring that users do not save incorrect JSON files.

Using this plugin is straightforward. After installing it from the Chrome web store, users can open the plugin and save their settings, such as their Github token, username, and email. When a JSON file is opened on Github, a button labeled 'JSON Editor' will appear. Clicking on this button will open the plugin in a new tab, with the JSON file already populated. Users can then make any necessary changes to the JSON and click the 'Save' button to commit their changes to the repository.

One notable feature of Github JSON Editor is its support for multiple settings based on the host. This allows users to customize their experience depending on the specific Github repository they are working on.

Overall, Github JSON Editor is a valuable tool for developers and users who frequently work with JSON files on Github. It provides a convenient way to validate and format JSON, ensuring a smooth editing experience.
