Better view for output JSON

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by FreeRangeDingo 114

I'm working on troubleshooting a flow.  I want to view the outputs, so I click to download.

I get a mess of JSON like this.  I know I should be able to see this in a more organized fashion.  I am using Chrome and also tried Edge but it didn't change.  What do I need to change to make this useful?  Thanks!

    You can paste this lovely content into a JSON formatter, such as:

    Best JSON Viewer and JSON Beautifier Online (codebeautify.org)

    Without such tools JSON data is often output without line breaks to save space, and it can be extremely difficult to actually read and make sense of it.

    And also a free JSON Crash Course for beginners: https://www.udemy.com/course/json-crash-course/
