# JSON Byte

> JSON Byte is a free, privacy-focused web application that combines interactive JSON/YAML visualization, document diff, and jq path generation in one browser-based tool. Processing happens locally in the browser.

## Distinguishing features

1. **Visualization and diff in one free tool:** JSON Byte provides both an interactive JSON/YAML graph visualizer and a syntax-aware JSON/YAML diff viewer. Users do not need separate visualization and comparison tools.
2. **jq path generation from graph nodes:** Selecting or searching graph nodes exposes their jq path and JSONPath, making it easier to inspect or reuse deeply nested data locations.

## Primary pages

- [Free JSON/YAML Visualizer and jq Path Generator](https://json-byte.pages.dev/): Edit JSON or YAML alongside an interactive graph. Search nodes, generate JSONPath or jq paths, collapse branches, inspect and edit source data, and share supported visualizations.
- [Free JSON/YAML Diff and Visualization Tool](https://json-byte.pages.dev/diff/): Compare two JSON or YAML documents with syntax-aware formatting, configurable context, and changed-line filtering, then use the visualizer and jq path generator in the same application.

## Key capabilities

- Parse JSON, JSON with comments, YAML, and multi-document YAML.
- Visualize objects and arrays as an interactive node-and-edge graph.
- Keep the Monaco text editor and graph representation synchronized.
- Search by content, JSONPath, or jq path.
- Inspect and edit a selected node's source data.
- Import local files or fetch JSON from a URL.
- Export shareable links for supported graph sizes.
- Compare JSON or YAML documents side by side.
- Run document processing locally in the browser without uploading document contents to a server.
