User reviews

Terrible tutorial

Tutorial is impossible I do the right thing AND NOTHING HAPPENS

Lots of bugs

Crashes all the time, otherwise it’s a brilliant idea.

Clunky but good

This is the only app on the app store that allows you to export your *.JSON files. I don't care that it is clunky and you can't use your own formatting, this works.

Expensive and needs work

Has a lot of potential, but it's a bit hard to use. Would be nice to see the other languages, even if you can't copy the code. And $2/month, are you serious?

6 stars

If I could give it 6, I would.

Very well done, you need this.

FAQ

What does JSON Designer do?

JSON Designer is a tool that allows you to visually model and design JSON structures. It helps you create object-oriented representations of JSON data, making it easier to understand and document APIs without needing to read extensive documentation.

What are the key features of JSON Designer?

Key features include graphically modeling JSON structures (JMs), exporting these models as images for documentation, reverse-generating models from URLs or direct JSON input, browsing hand-picked API examples, and generating Protocol Buffers (.proto) files for gRPC. It also offers a tutorial and open-in functionality for file exchange.

How much does JSON Designer cost?

The core modeling features of JSON Designer are free. However, optional code generators, which save significant time, are available through a paid monthly subscription. This subscription provides access to an extended and growing selection of code generators.

What kind of code generators are available?

The optional code generators, available via subscription, include support for languages like Obj-C, Swift, Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, Perl, Python, Ruby, and PHP. These generators are designed to save developers considerable time by automating code creation from your JSON models.

Who would benefit from using JSON Designer?

This app is primarily for developers and technical users who work with APIs and JSON data. It's particularly useful for those who need to create clear documentation, understand complex JSON structures quickly, or generate code from their data models.
