JSON Wrangler is a Chrome extension developed by Jon Ribbens that enhances the way JSON files are displayed in the browser. Unlike other existing extensions, JSON Wrangler is actively maintained and offers essential features that were previously missing. One of its standout features is its ability to handle large files, even those that are hundreds of megabytes in size.

The extension is known for its exceptional speed, making it the fastest among other JSON extensions. It offers a visually appealing display that is also compact, ensuring that small objects and arrays are displayed on a single line. JSON Wrangler automatically adapts to both dark and light modes, providing a seamless user experience.

With JSON Wrangler, users can easily toggle objects and arrays closed, including the option to automatically close all children of the selected item by using Ctrl-click. Additionally, the extension displays the JSONPath of the item the mouse is hovering over, allowing for easy navigation within the JSON structure.

Searching within JSON files is made effortless with JSON Wrangler, as it supports regular expressions. Users can simply type a JavaScript regular expression literal in the search box to perform advanced searches.

Furthermore, JSON Wrangler intelligently detects URLs within strings, including property names, and makes them clickable. This feature enhances the overall usability of JSON files, allowing users to directly access URLs without manual copying and pasting.

Overall, JSON Wrangler is a powerful and reliable Chrome extension that offers a superior JSON file viewing experience. Its speed, compact display, and essential features make it a must-have tool for anyone working with JSON files.
