About this app
JSON Master is a JSON viewer and editor for the things you actually do all day: find the value, copy its path, copy the branch, and work out what a field really contains. Every document is shown two ways, as a tree and as coloured source, and both are the same file. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT - Every path is ready to paste, in whichever form you need it: dot, JSONPath, brackets, jq, Swift or JSON Pointer - The inspector explains what a value really is: Unix timestamps as dates, JWT tokens decoded, base64, ISO dates, string length, integers beyond 2^53, duplicate keys - Expand embedded JSON, the escaped string every webhook and log line contains, unwrapped in place - Syntax colour that holds even when the document does not parse, which is exactly when it helps - An untouched file is saved byte for byte as it arrived, and a broken one still opens with the line and column of the error ALS…
App details
What you can learn from JSON Master
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are JSON Master's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: JSON Master runs a dark set with one background colour (#242414) carried across every screenshot — the listing reads as a single poster when the shots sit side by side in search results. The accent colour we picked up, #746444, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
