Program to auto-format JSON responses?

Question

Just wondering if theres a program you can paste a JSON response into and it will be auto-formatted? Im finding it very annoying to try and sift through these in the browser to figure out the data structure.

Hopefully this isn't too asinine of me to ask... :s

You can use JSONLint which will also validate your JSON.

Another alternative I find useful is to output a <pre> tag prior to your json, or set the headers of your page to output JSON (e.g. PHP: header('Content-type: application/json');).

If you're viewing it in a browser you can use something like this to have it pretty-printed in the browser itself: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc

There's one for Firefox too.

There is another question that deals with that particularly for the browser: Browser JSON Plugins
