JSON Wright

JSON Wright is an editor for working with JSON as both text and structure. Open a document in Source view when you need direct control, or switch to Tree view to browse, edit, filter, search, duplicate, move, extract, and reshape JSON without manually counting brackets.

It includes JSON validation that reports duplicate keys, inconsistent sibling object structures, suspicious primitive values, and other cleanup hints.

JSON Wright is designed as a focused utility for people who regularly inspect, repair, transform, or normalize JSON files.

Note on the AI Disclosure in "More information":

JSON Wright is a program I started making several years ago and it's been an important piece of my tool-chain when developing games and software. It's matured over the years in terms of functionality but hasn't been very user-friendly or nice to look at. With the help of VS Copilot I have now managed to make it into an elegant looking and user-friendly program ready to be shared. I also got very valuable help from Copilot in making a robust custom JSON validation which not only reports errors but gives advice about inconsistencies and improvements.
