Browser JSON Plugins

Question

Im looking for a Safari/Webkit plugin similar to Firefox's JSONView, or the Pretty JSON Chrome extension. Anyone know of anything like this?

JSONView - http://benhollis.net/blog/2009/02/24/jsonview-view-json-documents-in-firefox/
Pretty JSON - https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ddngkjbldiejbheifcmnfmmfiniimbbg

I came across this question whilst looking for a JSON visualization plugin... Pretty JSON didn't work for me on Chrome (and I didn't like the fact that you needed to add a .json extension), so instead I used JSON formatter here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bcjindcccaagfpapjjmafapmmgkkhgoa — Joe, Oct 26 '11 at 18:28

Seems to be working quite well on my Safari 6 here. – Pierre-Adrien Dec 31 '12 at 12:43
Worked for me with Safari 6.1.1. Great tool! – Randall Cook Feb 28 '14 at 21:36
Seems to work great on Safari 7.0.5! – Paul Aug 09 '14 at 07:37
Just for the update, seems to be working on 8.0 in OS X 10.10 as well. – wspurgin Oct 30 '14 at 03:52

I downloaded the extension for Safari 8.0.2 and it doesn't seem to work – htafoya Jan 05 '15 at 01:53
works ok on my mac @htafoya – acrogenesis Jan 12 '15 at 03:47
It works on my Mac too! Safari 8.0.2 – Gaurang Jan 16 '15 at 06:20
How to install this? Please add the link directly to the extension. Pardon , new to safari extensions. – pal4life May 19 '15 at 14:14
@pal4life here's the direct link on apple's safari extension gallery https://extensions.apple.com/details/?id=com.acrogenesis.jsonace-56Q494QF3L – acrogenesis May 20 '15 at 02:22
@acrogenesis FYI The extensions links are broken. I couldn't find when searching the gallery either. – wst Apr 06 '16 at 15:22

@wst Install it via github https://github.com/acrogenesis/JSONAce apple changed its policies and because I don't have a developer account I can't publish to the gallery. – acrogenesis Apr 06 '16 at 23:14

@acrogenesis JSONAce has a major bug. If you visit a url that displays JSON. Then change the url to another JSON page it locks up Safari and your computer with 100% CPU usage. – Matt Apr 28 '16 at 04:42

This was exactly what I was looking for. I was fooled by a moment by the name of the extension but it also allows for JSON. Thanks! – Brian Wigginton May 14 '10 at 00:16
From my experience it doesn't work for Safari 6 anymore. – Anriëtte Myburgh Feb 26 '13 at 09:53
nothing works with safari 6 anymore! – raaj Aug 20 '13 at 23:37
Link does not work anymore – pal4life May 19 '15 at 14:15

Doesn't work for me.. :( – htafoya Jan 05 '15 at 01:53
You cannot install it or it doesn't show the JSON? – Lubakis Jan 06 '15 at 15:08
It doesn't show the formatted json. It appears installed in Safari preferences. I ended up installing the one linked in the accepted answer. – htafoya Jan 07 '15 at 21:13
