JSON View
Read full descriptionHide full description
JSON View is a clean JSON viewer and editor. Open, view, edit, format, and validate JSON files โ all offline, no account required, no ads. Whether you're a developer debugging an API response, a data analyst inspecting config files, a student learning JSON syntax, or someone who just received a .json file and needs to read it โ JSON View handles it efficiently. TREE VIEW โ EXPLORE JSON VISUALLY Navigate complex, deeply nested JSON with a collapsible tree view. Each node shows the key name, value type, and child count at a glance. Tap to expand or collapse any object or array. Color-coded types make it easy to spot strings, numbers, booleans, and null values without reading every line. Auto-expands the first two levels when you open a file โ so you see structure immediately, not a wall of collapsed nodes. TEXT VIEW โ READ & EDIT WITH SYNTAX HIGHLIGHTING Switch to a full syntax-highlighted text view with line numbers. Every key, string, number, boolean, and bracket is color-coded for quick scanning. Edit your JSON directly in the text editor โ fix typos, update values, restructure data. JSON View gives you both a visual tree view AND a real text editing mode with syntax highlighting, giving you the flexibility to work exactly how you want. FORMAT & BEAUTIFY Beautify messy, minified JSON into a clean, readable structure with one tap. Choose your indentation โ 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tabs. Minify bloated JSON into compact single-line output for APIs or configs. Sort keys alphabetically to organize your data. VALIDATE BEFORE YOU SAVE Real-time JSON validation catches syntax errors before you save. See exactly which line and column has the problem โ no more guessing. JSON View validates your file every time you save, so you never accidentally corrupt a file. Auto-fix common mistakes like trailing commas, missing quotes, and extra brackets. OPEN JSON FROM ANYWHERE Pick a .json file from your device storage using the built-in file browser. Paste JSON directly from your clipboard โ no file needed. Load JSON from any URL (paste an API endpoint and see the response). Receive JSON shared from other apps. Start from scratch with a blank file or use starter templates (API Mock, package.json, Config Map). JSON View works with the Files app โ tap any JSON file and open it directly in JSON View. SAVE, SHARE & EXPORT Save changes back to the original file. Save as a new .json file anywhere on your device. Export to XML or PDF for sharing with non-technical colleagues. Share formatted JSON as text to any messaging or note-taking app. Copy the entire file to your clipboard with one tap. CONVERT BETWEEN FORMATS Convert JSON to XML and XML to JSON with a single tap. Useful when you need to switch between data formats for different systems, APIs, or team members. Transform key casing โ convert between camelCase, snake_case, and PascalCase across all keys in your file. DESIGNED FOR REAL USE Modern, clean interface optimized for your device. Dark mode and light mode with system-aware auto-switching. Works completely offline โ no internet connection needed. No account, no sign-up, no login. No data collection โ your JSON files never leave your device. Handles deeply nested structures and large files smoothly. Built by Garoono โ indie developers who ship useful tools for real people.

KNX Inspector is a professional analysis and diagnostics app for KNX/IP installations on iPhone and iPad. The app connects to KNX/IP gateways and interfaces, monitors telegrams in real time, checks group addresses, analyzes physical device addresses, and compares live data with imported ETS projects. The app was developed for commissioning, service, troubleshooting, and technical analysis. It is ideal for system integrators, service technicians, and anyone who needs to understand, test, and document KNX systems during live operation. Key Features: * Connection to KNX/IP gateways and interfaces * Network search via KNX multicast and local gateway discovery * Live monitoring of KNX telegrams * Filters for direction, telegram type, search text, and group address * Raw data and plain-text display with DPT reference * Bus alarm for targeted monitoring of group or device addresses * DPT test for reading and writing group addresses * Line scan for physical KNX device addresses * Telegram scan for active group communication * Complete analysis combining device discovery and telegram monitoring * ETS / .knxproj import for the Compare ETS feature * Project structure with functions, buildings, rooms, and topology * Export functions for documentation and sharing * Local session and history management Supported devices include KNXnet/IP-compatible devices, interfaces, and routers accessible via the standard UDP port 3671. This includes, for example, KNX/IP gateways and interfaces from manufacturers such as MDT, Gira, Jung, Hager, Weinzierl, ABB, Schneider Electric, Siemens, Theben, and Busch-Jaeger. With the Live Monitor, you can observe KNX telegrams in real time. The app displays the source, destination, group address, payload, telegram type, and, wherever possible, decoded values. Filters help you track specific communication patterns, group addresses, or responses. The Bus Map combines devices, group activity, and communication patterns into a structured analysis. This allows you to quickly identify which participants are active, which group addresses are being used, and which transmitters generate the most traffic. With Compare ETS, you can cross-reference live data with an imported ETS project. This reveals which devices were detected live, which project devices are missing, which groups are active, and where discrepancies exist between the live bus and the project data. The DPT Test is ideal for targeted functional testing. Group addresses can be read or written, and supported DPTs are decoded and displayed as clearly as possible. This allows you to directly test switching, dimming, temperature values, scenes, and many other typical KNX functions. A complete list of supported decoded KNX data types, as well as technical notes, is available online via the support URL. KNX Inspector works locally on your device and is optimized for practical on-site work. The app is particularly suitable for: * Commissioning KNX systems * Service and maintenance work * Troubleshooting telegram and group address issues * Comparing live installations with the ETS project * Documenting technical observations * Remote monitoring of the KNX bus via VPN For technical inquiries or general support, please use the support URL. A user manual and technical notes are also available online. Note: KNX is a registered trademark of the KNX Association. This application was developed independently and is not an official product of the KNX Association.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: JSON View at none against KNX Inspector's 1. JSON View also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
