Show HN: a small weekendish project - JSON Blob (opens in new tab)

I'm a touch confused -- http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/

Is this your site as well?

Very awesome. I use http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/ often but this looks much cleaner.

Do you plan to keep it up indefinitely or open-source it?

Nice job. I love these kinds of small helper/utility sites, it's big part of why I follow HN.

Is there a directory of sites like this somewhere, by the way?

Could be useful if one was writing an DB Admin backend for MongoDB.

Nicely done, sir. Wasn't exactly sure what the true power was for a minute. I really like the json editor, but what really sells it is being able to have mock urls that actually function. Perfect for setting up a data source via the api for use among multiple engineers. You should somehow make that bit of info more prominent in the demo.

"This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved."

... far to sensitive. You can press "clear" in the toolbar then try to close the browser tab and it'll pop up on a empty document.

Personally, I wouldn't have that at all.

Apart from that, it looks very nice. Many options for manipulating the JSON object, cool!

Nice! I have to use things like this all the time when debugging writes to mongo, so this is really neat. I like the design, although being able to resize the windows would be nice. On my 17" Macbook, there's more unused space that I really need.

It's also really cool that you can save/restore - I could see this being used like jsFiddle.

GL!

I like the idea bu... When adding new key/value pairs, the text 'field' and 'value' should either be placeholders or selected on focus so a user's first keypress wipes those strings from the field. Having to manually select all is not intuitive and forces the user to do work easily done by the computer.

Regarding the presentation part of this, even if you don't use it for exchanging data, serializing JSON to YAML can output a nicely readable and terse structure. The example JSON ends up looking like this: http://pastebin.com/gw6SGz4U

This is awesome :) I'm looking for a way to interactively build something like this into our documentation at https://balancedpayments.com/docs/api

Very nice. This is one of those things where I don't need it right now, but in 2 weeks I'll be thinking "where the hell is that bookmark..." :)

Nice, an upgrade from http://json.parser.online.fr/ for quick looks at json.

When I try to upload json it never seems to finish. Chrome/Linux

Other than that, I like it a lot. Very cool side project

Very clean. FYI, when saving I get a URL like undefined/api/jsonBlob/50e46e66e4b006ece99dff64.

Cool. FYI, the items within the drop downs are not usable on my idevice

The link to jsoneditoronline.org on the About page is incorrect.

This would be great to tie into CouchDBs admin interface!

it would be nice if I could give it a jsonp URL and a callback function name
