Five ways to look at JSON
Text, tree, graph, node cards, and a nested table — Stats and JQ sit beside those views. All free.
BracketView
Paste, format, and validate JSON in a free online workspace — then open the same payload as text, a tree, a graph, node cards, or a nested table. Query with JSONPath or jq, diff two documents, and check schemas. The UI is in nine languages, in the browser or as a Windows app. Node and Table stay free — not Pro.
$Type: objectNodes: 10Depth: 3BracketView is a privacy-first JSON workspace: view, format, validate, query (JSONPath + jq), diff, schema, and types in the browser. See JSON as text, tree, graph, node cards, or a nested table — seven tabs in all, with Stats and JQ beside those views. The UI is in nine languages (Workspace settings in the header gear). Optional server features: AI, encrypted snapshots, webhook tester, signed-in history. BracketView is also a Windows desktop app (0.1.3). Linux is coming soon.

Node and Table views, nine UI languages, and Windows 0.1.3 — plus a few workspace polish items. None of these require Pro.
Workspace settings
Theme, editor font, and UI language live in the header gear — moved off the profile page.
Account menu
Manage Profile and Sign out sit on the profile photo. There is no separate header Sign out.
Tree search
Search is on the tree toolbar, before Expand all.
AI panel
Slides in from the right, next to keyboard shortcuts.
Route loading
Layout skeletons instead of a blank screen.
JSON history
Signed-in history gets a custom date filter and one-click copy of an entry’s JSON.
Hover or select a workflow — previews use the same UI chrome as the BracketView app.
A clean browser-based workspace built for API debugging, configs, and nested payloads — five views, nine languages, without making AI the product.
Text, tree, graph, node cards, and a nested table — Stats and JQ sit beside those views. All free.
Switch the workspace in Workspace settings (header gear): English, 简体中文, 日本語, 한국어, Português (Brasil), Spanish, French, German, Russian.
Beautify or minify JSON and catch syntax errors with line and column feedback as you type.
Find keys and values inside large documents, then jump to the matching node. Tree search sits on the tree toolbar.
Diff two payloads side by side to spot structural and value changes in API responses.
Core tools stay local. Optional AI, snapshots, and webhooks are explicit choices — not silent uploads.
Need a specific tool? JSON viewer, formatter, validator, or JSON diff.
Open BracketView, paste your payload, and start formatting, validating, or querying structured data in seconds.
Drop JSON into the editor or import a file — no install required.
Beautify, minify, and catch syntax errors as you type in real time.
Browse the tree, node, or table view, run JSONPath queries, diff versions, and share results.
Five ways to look at JSON — text, tree, graph, node, and table — plus JSONPath, jq, and optional AI. UI in nine languages. Node and Table are free.
Explore nested JSON as text, tree, graph, node cards, or a nested table — free
Open JSON ViewerBeautify, minify, and validate JSON as you type
Try formatterQuery large documents with JSONPath or JQ expressions
Try JSONPathDisposable public webhook URLs — capture live headers, bodies, and mock responses
Open Webhook TesterCore viewing, formatting, validation, JSONPath, and jq run in your browser. Optional AI repair and conversion, encrypted snapshot links, Webhook Tester, and signed-in history previews use BracketView servers (and AI providers for AI features) when you choose them. Do not paste secrets into optional cloud features unless you accept that risk.
Whether you are shipping APIs, reviewing webhooks, or cleaning up configs, BracketView fits into your daily workflow.
Inspect REST responses, trace nested fields, and debug endpoints without a local setup.
Generate a disposable public URL, point Stripe, GitHub, or Shopify at it, and inspect live headers and bodies — then mock responses or replay to localhost.
Format and validate hand-edited configs, env exports, and deployment manifests.
Repair broken JSON from log files, exports, and third-party integrations.
Diff two API versions side by side and see exactly which fields changed.
Generate draft schemas from example objects and keep API docs accurate.
Dedicated landing pages for each workflow, plus learn guides and blog tutorials. Start with the viewer, then open the specialist tool you need.
Incumbents win on a single job: lint, classic tree edit, or a graph map. BracketView is a free online JSON viewer that keeps those jobs next to query, diff, schema, and an ad-free workspace. See the full roundup.
