JSONBuddy

Although JSON is widely used in communication and data storage, working with the format’s data can sometimes be challenging. This goes double when you need to tackle large chunks of data. That’s where JSONBuddy comes in.

The program comes with a powerful built-in text editor that packs all the features you would expect when working with this format. More precise, you have syntax highlight, context-sensitive auto-completion, syntax checking, code folding or patch operations, so that you get things done faster and accurately.

In addition to the classic functions, the app packs advanced features suitable for working with large datasets. The app enables you to add $ref as links and can resolve target locations, so you can conveniently navigate in the schema.

The application includes an advanced validator that with inspecting the JSON schema in minute details. For instance, if you want to learn more about the JSON validation itself, the app can guide you though the process and provide information on the criteria it is using.

Moreover, depending on your style of work, you could create unlimited breakpoints, thus enabling you to pinpoint the exact area of the code that needs your attention. The app should work well on the validation phase with all schemas, regardless of whether they were created with other third-party software.

Despite the fact that it may not be your typically digital assistant, the program includes a scheme analyzer that can provide some help while you are editing your documents. The analyzer assistant works in the background and only steps in to report various issues during editing.

There are several types of issues that can be reported by JSONBuddy’s assistant, including unresolved local and external $ref, multiple definitions of property, ambiguous keyword and unused definitions.
