Is there a convenient tool for viewing/analysing JSON responses?

Question

I find it inconvenient using my browser to view JSON responses, then copy/paste the code into my editor, then have to put line-breaks in to make it more readable.

It would be great to have a tool that allows me to enter a URL and receive a JSON in a more usable format, like say, a drill-down tree, or at least some color-coding of the text.

What tools are recommended?

Answer 1

Use the javascript developer window in Google Chrome. You can drill down into any objects.

Just type e.g. "JSON.parse(your_json_string)" and click away!

Answer 2

When not using Firebug in Firefox, I've used JsonViewer and pasted in my JSON text.
