BracketView
What it is
BracketView is a JSON workspace for viewing, formatting, validating, querying, and comparing JSON in a browser or desktop app. It offers text, tree, graph, node-card, and nested-table views, plus Stats and JQ tools. Users can query with JSONPath or jq, which runs in the browser through WebAssembly. Validation supports OpenAPI definitions and custom JSON Schema rules, and the workspace can generate types for TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, and more. Its Webhook Tester captures requests from services such as Stripe, GitHub, and Shopify. Core formatting, validation, comparison, and visualization run in the browser, while optional AI, snapshots, and webhook capture may send or store data on BracketView servers. AI features may send JSON or an excerpt to Groq and/or Google Gemini. Snapshot payloads are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, but anyone with the public link can open them until expiry. The Windows and Linux desktop app runs core tools offline and opens local files up to 200 MB. Web uploads are limited to 5 MB on Free and 50 MB on Pro. Paid plans start at $2.25/mo billed annually.
