What you get
You get easier-to-read JSON in Safari when you need it.
With prettyJSON for Safari, you can turn server-delivered JSON into a formatted view that's easier to read. When you open a compatible JSON response in Safari, you choose when to apply formatting with a toggle button. You can inspect the data in your browser without moving it to a separate formatting tool.
You keep control over when the extension changes the page: it adds no styling or other modifications until you turn the toggle on. Your JSON isn't sent to a server for formatting, and you get automatic dark mode support. The extension is free and open-source.
You do need a compatible response from a server, with the correct MIME type and content-security settings. You can't use it to format local JSON files or pages opened through file URLs.
