Compared a few options

Evaluated this against two competitors. Where it wins: syntax error detection and validation and useful for API debugging and config cleanup. Where it lags: not ideal for very large JSON files. On balance the feature set — especially works directly in the browser — justifies the 5 stars for our use case.

Does the job

Pretty happy overall. Syntax error detection and validation just works and clean, distraction-free interface. Limited advanced features compared to IDE plugins can be annoying, but no dealbreakers — I'd recommend it to a friend without hesitating.

Solid for our team

We rolled this out across the team last quarter and free and accessible from any browser. Supports nested and complex structures fits neatly into how we already work, and jSON formatting and beautification removed a step we used to do by hand. Limited advanced features compared to IDE plugins, which is the main caveat, but it has held up under daily use.
