Welcome to JSON Studio
Hey everyone,
I work with JSON a lot as a dev, and I got tired of having to bounce between different websites just to format, visualize, and validate data. There wasn’t really a proper workbench that had everything in one place.
So I built JSON Studio. It’s currently in open beta.
It handles structural tree visualization, editing, and validation on a single canvas. To make it easy to try, I just shipped a test mode where you can use the app instantly without signing up (there's just a temporary 200-char limit on the guest session for now, with certain functionality disabled).
It features a built-in syntax solver that I'm especially proud of. I haven't found anything similar in other tools I've tested.
I'm keen to get some feedback on it.
Check it out here: JSON Studio
This is clean.
My main question is around workflow replacement most devs already use a mix of online formatters, Postman, VSCode extensions, or even just AI tools for JSON handling.
What’s the main moment where JSON Studio becomes the obvious choice instead of staying in those existing tools?
I think for dev tools like this, adoption usually comes down to how often it fits into an actual daily workflow rather than how many features it has.
You are right about this. I think the moment would be when you can switch from using multiple tools to just using one, and that this one tool feels easy to work with. It is very difficult to give more specific answers as of now, as I need to gain insight into different people's workflows.
That makes sense.
I think the key insight will come from watching what people currently do step-by-step, not just what tools they use.
For example, are they debugging API responses, cleaning logs, or moving data between systems? Each of those has a slightly different “switch moment”.
If you can pinpoint one workflow where JSON Studio becomes the default step in that process, adoption becomes much clearer.
If you’re open to it, I’d be interested in continuing the discussion do you use Telegram, Discord, or email for deeper product chats?
Yes. You can contact me on this mail: pelle at claritytechnologies dot net
I like the idea of treating JSON as something you work with, not just something you paste into a formatter. Having visualization, editing, and validation in one place feels much closer to how developers actually use JSON day to day.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback. I figured it was a good idea to put the site online instead of perfecting it forever. It's better to let users shape the tool to some degree by giving feedback.
That's exactly what caught my attention.
I think there's one strategic business decision sitting underneath that approach that becomes much more important as more developer feedback starts coming in, but I don't think I can do the reasoning behind it justice in a thread.
Happy to explain what I mean if it's useful. What's the best email to reach you?
You can reach me at pelle at claritytechnologies dot com. I can't write the email normally due to it being a link.
Just sent it over by email.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts once you've had a chance to read it.
I seem to have given the wrong email. This is the correct one: pelle at claritytechnologies dot net
Done! I've just resent it to the correct
