Looks like the HN effect is happening already -- the "Demo" link to Github shows this:<p><pre><code> {
"message": "API rate limit exceeded for 52.53.190.53. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)",
"documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3/#rate-limiting"
}</code></pre>
I'm colour-blind, and Firefox the text in the console is completely unreadable to me. The Firefox console background is grey (I think), while the text is blue or purple (I think) and I can't make it out against the background.
Chrome devtools? I feel the collapsed tree visualization of parsed JSON is already sufficient.<p>I'll just access the API I need within the authentication context of my app. Anything I would want to do with the JSON data is directly available in the devtools console. It has the added benefit of copying/pasting rough code I write in the console into my IDE to continue the work.
I wrote a similar tool awhile ago, though it runs on the command line.<p><a href="https://github.com/dpedu2/sless" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/dpedu2/sless</a><p>It's intended for reading structure logs - a file containing json objects separated by newlines.
I think the most useful feature here is JSON -> JS conversion. Relatively often I find myself copying and pasting some JSON into a JS file then manually deleting / regexing away the unnecessary quote marks around key names.
Nice tool<p>Suggestion : Filtering seems to work only on object keys at the outermost level (e.g full_name in demo). It would be nice to be able to filter inner keys as well (e.g html_url in demo)
