- Made 'Help' more easily discoverable - Fixed: 'Source' text color when using a dark theme and the light system appearance - Added a new setting to preserve string quotes "..." when using 'Copy JSON Value' in the context menu

Ratings and Reviews

One of the most beautiful and well featured json viewer for safari.

Like many other users/reviewers I've tried the free ones in the market (on or off app store) but this one nails it in terms of beautifulness, dark mode compatibility, and collapse feature. Just one thing that I'd like to see in the future update is the change (or the option to change) the toggle button color when hover. It works, but purple seems... a bit off and I think the button context can be more simplified, perhaps using emoji. Overall, great extension and it's worth every penny (I mean it's only a dollar so 😉)

I tried the free one (JSON peep) and it was adequate - but to not have to go to another app to be able to get styling and collapsing, this works great for $1. Yes I could use something other than Safari, yes I could struggle with the Inspector to parse, or use one of my many web editing tools and apps - bt this works nicely in Safari with an easy to use button and great themes. Thanks for making this!

Professional and Perfect

If you work with JSON at all on the web this is more than worth the price. Beautifully formats JSON with enough options to tweak fonts and colors plus collapsing and searching. It has a professional polish you'd expect from the best Mac apps. A very well put together Safari extension. Exactly what I was looking for.

iOS 15 Safari Extensions Worth Checking Out

With iOS 15, Apple introduced a new design and a range of new features , including better support for extensions. Safari in iOS 15 supports web extensions, which can be downloaded and installed through the App Store , so there are a much wider range of extension options for you to choose from.

• 1Password (Subscription Required) - For 1Password users, the 1Password extension allows users to input their saved 1Password information in Safari, similar to how it works on the Mac. 1Password can autofill logins, passwords, credit card information, two-factor authentication codes, and more. A 1Password subscription is required, which is priced at $2.99 per month.
• Amplosion ($2.99) - Amplosion redirects Google's AMP pages and links to standard links in Safari, which is a good solution for those who don't like AMP pages. Amplosion, designed by Apollo creator Christian Selig, is open source and designed with transparency so users can verify what the extension is doing.
• Apollo (Free) - Reddit app Apollo has a new Safari extension that's designed to allow the Apollo app to open any Reddit weblink rather than requiring the link to be opened in the Reddit app. If you pair Apollo with Amplosion, Safari will open any Safari Reddit link in the Apollo app automatically, which is great for those who prefer Apollo to the official Reddit app. Apollo is free, but the Pro unlock costs $4.99.
• Achoo - ($0.99) - Another extension created by Christian Selig, Achoo is an HTML viewer and inspector. If you need to see the HTML of a webpage on your iPhone and iPad , this is a simple app worth picking up. You can inspect HTML, copy/paste it, and edit it.
• StopTheMadness ($7.99) - StopTheMadness is a privacy protecting extension that has several functions. It stops Google from loading AMP pages, ends clickjacking in Google search results, Facebook, and Gmail, removes tracking parameters from the ends of URLs, loads unshortened versions of URLs, prevents videos from autoplaying, and more. It's expensive, but for those who want to cut out a lot of the Safari browsing annoyances, it's worth checking out.
• Super Agent (Free) - Super Agent is an extension that automatically fills in cookie consent forms based on your preferences, getting rid of frustrating cookie pop up forms.
• Overamped ($1.99) - Overamped is another extension that is designed to direct AMP and Yandex Turbo to the original sites, disabling AMP and Yandex Turbo in Safari.
• Dark Reader ($4.99) - Dark Reader for Safari brings Dark Mode to every website by adding dark themes for websites that don't support ‌Dark Mode‌ natively. There are controls for adjusting brightness and contrast, swapping between Dynamic and Filter mode, toggling the dark themes off for individual websites, and more.
• Noir ($2.99) - If you have ‌Dark Mode‌ turned on and visit a website that does not support it, Noir will automatically turn it dark so that you're not blinded by a sudden bright webpage with ‌Dark Mode‌ enabled. Noir only activates when a website does not have a ‌Dark Mode‌ option, and you can choose to turn ‌Dark Mode‌ on or off on a site by site basis.
• Convusic ($0.99) - Convusic is a Safari extension that's designed to open any Spotify link in Apple Music . If you're an ‌Apple Music‌ subscriber and often come across Spotify links but still want to hear the songs, this extension offers a solution. When installed, you can choose which app will open music streaming links. It works both ways - Spotify users can set it to open ‌Apple Music‌ songs in Spotify, and ‌Apple Music‌ users can set it to open Spotify songs in ‌Apple Music‌.

Installing Extensions

To install an extension, you need to download the extension app from the ‌App Store‌ and then open up the Safari section of the Settings app. From there, tap on "Extensions" and select the toggle next to the extension you want to enable.

If you want to find more extensions, just tap on the "More Extensions" button to go to the "Safari Extensions" section in the ‌App Store‌.

Alternatively, extensions can also be managed right in the browser window by tapping on the "Aa" button and then choosing the "Manage Extensions" option.

Should also be pointed out that those of us who previously paid for 1Password, and are still using stand alone vaults with no subscription, can not only NOT use the new extension, but they took away the existing share sheet with no warning.

Come on. The extensions for Safari are just an utter joke.

Safari Json Formatter Save

A Safari extension which makes valid JSON documents human-readable.

JSON Formatter

Installation

Download the extension and open it with Safari 5.

Once installed, load any valid JSON document. This project's most recent commit makes a good example.

Version History

• Added folding of arrays, objects and long strings
• Added setting for auto-folding of long strings (default: on)
• Added setting for "long string" threshold (default 512 bytes)
• Added a "toggle formatting" button to switch between formatted and original JSON

The extension aims to produce the same JSON string that's been loaded as input, but because the original JSON has actually been parsed, some transformation may occur. In other words, the formatted JSON will always be equivalent to the original JSON, but in rare circumstances it may not match exactly. The only known example of this is kind of discrepancy is between number formats -- if the original JSON contains the numeric value 1e2, for example, the formatted JSON will display the value 100.
