JSON Visualizer & Tree Viewer

Paste JSON and explore it as an interactive, collapsible tree. Click nodes to expand/collapse, search for keys or values, and copy paths or data.

Samples:
Paste JSON to visualize the tree

About JSON Visualizer

  • Interactive tree — expand and collapse nodes to explore deeply nested JSON structures.
  • Search — find keys or values instantly with highlighted matches. Use Ctrl+F to focus the search bar.
  • Copy paths & values — hover over any node to copy its JSON path or value to your clipboard.
  • Depth control — expand to a specific depth level (L2, L3, L5) or expand/collapse everything.
  • Stats — see key count, nesting depth, type distribution, and size at a glance.
  • Everything runs in your browser — no data is sent over the network.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I navigate large JSON files in the tree viewer?
The tree viewer renders JSON as a hierarchical structure with collapsible nodes for objects and arrays. Click any node to expand or collapse its children. Use the collapse-all button to reset the tree, then selectively expand the sections you need. The search feature lets you filter by key name or value, highlighting matches and auto-expanding parent nodes to reveal results. For deeply nested structures, the breadcrumb path display shows your current location. You can also click any node to copy its JSON path (like $.data.users[0].name) to the clipboard for use in code or JSONPath queries.
What is the difference between JSON tree view and raw JSON?
Raw JSON is the plain text representation with curly braces, brackets, and commas. A JSON tree view renders that same data as a visual hierarchy where each key-value pair is a row, objects and arrays become expandable nodes, and data types are color-coded. Tree view makes it easier to understand structure at a glance, especially for deeply nested data. You can collapse irrelevant sections to focus on specific parts. Raw JSON is better for editing, copying, and machine processing. Most developers use tree view for exploration and debugging, then switch to raw view when they need to modify or extract the actual JSON text.
How do I copy a specific JSON path from the visualizer?
Click on any key or value in the tree view to select that node. The tool displays the full JSON path in dot notation (like data.users[0].email) in the path bar at the top. Click the copy button next to the path to copy it to your clipboard. This path can be used directly in JavaScript with libraries like lodash's _.get(), in JSONPath expressions, or in jq filters. For array elements, the path includes the numeric index. This feature is particularly useful when working with API responses where you need to reference a specific nested field in your code or documentation.
