About:
QuickLook-JSON is a plugin for macOS Quick Look that renders JSON files in a human-readable, syntax-highlighted format. It automatically formats and color-codes JSON data, making it easy to inspect API responses, configuration files, and data exports without opening a dedicated editor.
Key Features:
  • Automatic syntax highlighting for JSON files
  • Pretty-prints and formats raw JSON data
  • Lightweight and integrates natively with macOS Quick Look
  • No additional application required
Use Cases:
  • Inspecting API response files (e.g., .json, .log)
  • Reviewing application configuration files
  • Quickly validating JSON structure and content
Alternatives:
  • QLStephen – Generic Quick Look plugin for plain text files, but lacks JSON-specific syntax highlighting
  • VS Code – Full-featured editor with JSON support, but heavier than a simple Quick Look plugin
