Jayson vs ClearJSON

Jayson is a JSON viewer and editor for iPhone and iPad. Browse JSON as a structure, edit values, and save your changes back to the file. Whether you're inspecting an API response, checking a config file, or making a quick fix on the go, Jayson turns raw JSON into something you can actually read and change. BROWSE AND EDIT - Open JSON files stored on your device or in iCloud Drive. - Toggle between a structured table view and syntax highlighted text. - Add new values and keys, and save your changes back to the file. - Parse text or the contents of a URL from your clipboard into JSON. - Highlight a key from a child of an array to get a quick overview of your data. TABS, SPLITS, AND WINDOWS - Switch between files, or different objects in a single file, using tabs. - Compare JSON in a single file or across files using multiple splits. - Open multiple windows on the iPad. WORKS WITH SHORTCUTS Jayson integrates with Shortcuts, which comes in handy for debugging API calls, previewing JSON files, and building workflows around JSON. - Pass a response from Get Contents of URL to Jayson to see how it is structured. - Open JSON as a document you keep working on, or as a temporary preview. - Format JSON and hand the result to the next action, using spaces or tabs. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Jayson's core functionality is free. Browsing, editing, saving, splits, Shortcuts, and working with up to two tabs at a time cost nothing. A one-time in-app purchase enables having more than two tabs open at once, switching between light and dark themes, and personalizing the app icon, accent color and type icons. One purchase, no subscription.

ClearJSON is a local-first JSON viewer, formatter, validator, and inspector for iPhone and iPad. Paste JSON, open files from Files or iCloud, validate payloads, format readable output, minify compact JSON, sort keys, search paths and values, copy formatted output, and export cleaned JSON. ClearJSON is built for checking API responses, reviewing configuration files, cleaning JSON snippets, debugging payloads, and inspecting nested data. Your JSON content stays private: payloads, searches, filenames, and clipboard contents are processed on device and are not sent to the advertising service. Users who have not made a support purchase may see contextual Google ads. Ad personalization is disabled. Any of the three existing support purchases removes all ads permanently, including verified purchases made in earlier versions.
