JSON Editor Mobile vs JSON Pilot

JSON Editor is a beautiful viewer and editor for JSON data. It allows you to create, visualize, modify, validate, format and save your JSON documents. The app has the smarts needed to make the minimum changes when editing a file, even in the "outline" mode. This is especially useful when you keep the files in a repository, because only the relevant changes will be shown when diff-ing the edited files. MAJOR FEATURES • View and edit your JSON documents in "outline" (aka "tree") or "text" modes • The "outline" mode offers a great and error proof way to manipulate your JSON, by allowing you to easily add, reorder, delete, copy & paste the items • The "text" mode offers a quick way to interact with the raw text which makes up the JSON and to investigate invalid JSONs OUTLINE MODE • Perform standard operations: cut, copy, paste, delete, reorder • Edit keys & values • Sort sibling items or the children of a parent item • Sort the entire JSON by tapping the "Key" or "Value" columns • Auto-detect if the document is human readable or compact, and preserve this format • Find & Replace - configure where the Find (and replace) will take place: in "Key" column or "Value" column or both. • Duplicate items • Change font & font size for better readability • Undo & redo • More customization options available in "More ->Settings -> Outline Editor" TEXT MODE • Syntax coloring, auto-indentation and line numbers • Customize the syntax colors, both for the light and dark appearances • Validate the JSON document • Highlight of the validation errors, along with a description of them • Make the JSON document human readable or compact, even if it is not entirely valid • Find & Replace • Change font & font size for better readability • Undo & redo • More customization options available in "More -> Settings -> Text Editor" IMPORTANT: JSON Editor is available as free to download, but a few features are disabled by default: Save documents, Find & Replace, Sort. In order to get the most out of the app, and to enable the aforementioned features, "Premium" is recommended to be purchased ("Premium" is a one-time in-app purchase).

A native JSON viewer and editor for iPhone, with an on-device AI assistant that explains your data without sending a byte to the cloud. JSON Pilot opens any JSON — from Files, the share sheet, AirDrop, your clipboard, or an HTTP request you fire from inside the app — and gives you three ways to read it: a syntax-highlighted Tree, a tap-to-edit Fields drilldown, and a Text view with line numbers. Edit at any level, prettify or minify, validate with a precise line:col error, and Save the edits back to the original file. — FREE FOREVER — The whole viewer and editor is free with no account, no nags, no cloud sync. View, edit, validate, format, minify, search, Save, Save to Files, Share, Copy. We never gate the basics. — ON-DEVICE AI ASSISTANT — Ask "What is this JSON?" or "Find issues" or "Extract all emails" and JSON Pilot answers locally, using Apple Foundation Models. Your JSON, your prompts, and the model's replies never leave your iPhone. No server, no API key, no cloud fallback. (The AI assistant requires an Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhone — 15 Pro and the full 16/17 family. On other devices the assistant is automatically disabled; everything else in the app still works.) — POWER TOOLS (PRO) — • JSON Diff — compare two payloads by structure. Reformatting is never a change. Summary view groups Changed / Added / Removed; Unified view shows a GitHub-style line diff. • JSONPath queries — $, ., [i], [*], .. and more. Matches highlight right on the Tree. • Format conversion — export to YAML, CSV, or XML. • HTTP request tool — send GET / POST / PUT / PATCH / DELETE with custom headers, open the JSON response in the same workspace. • Auto-fix — repair broken JSON: trailing commas, single quotes, unquoted keys, comments, smart quotes. • Themes — accent color and three syntax palettes. — PRIVACY YOU CAN VERIFY — Zero analytics SDKs. Zero telemetry. Zero crash reporters. The only network traffic the app initiates is StoreKit (your purchases) and HTTP requests you fire yourself. Recents are stored locally — CloudKit is explicitly disabled. JSON Pilot does not request Camera, Photos, Contacts, Microphone, Location, or any other iOS permission. — UPGRADE TO PRO — Two ways to unlock the same Pro features: • Monthly subscription — billed monthly, cancel anytime. • Lifetime — one-time purchase, keep Pro forever. Both options unlock the same features. See the App Store listing for current pricing in your region. Manage or cancel anytime in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. — REQUIREMENTS — iPhone running iOS 26.4 or later. AI features require an Apple-Intelligence-capable iPhone. — SUPPORT — Questions, bugs, ideas?
