#### Fast JSON and JSONL tree explorer, structural diff, and table exporter

JSON Tree Inspector is an offline desktop workbench for inspecting large JSON
and newline-delimited JSONL files, formatting or minifying payloads, comparing
structural tree differences, and flattening nested records into tabular exports.

Key Features:

* JSON & JSONL Tree Explorer: Parse standard JSON documents and .jsonl streams
  into a lazy-loaded hierarchy with color-coded type badges (str, num, bool,
  null, array, object), one-click JSONPath copying (e.g. $.users[0].name),
  and path/key/value filtering including wildcard queries like $.items[\*].price.
* Formatter & Structural JSON Diff: Switch between 2-space or 4-space pretty
  printing (with optional sorted keys) and compact minified output, plus run
  side-by-side structural comparisons highlighting Added, Removed, Type-Changed,
  and Modified paths.
* Flatten & Table Exporter: Flatten nested objects and arrays with dot notation
  into CSV, TSV, Markdown Table, and .jsonl files with live preview.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install JSON Tree Inspector

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
