Welcome to the **IntelliJ JSON Explorer Plugin**, a powerful tool for developers working with JSON files directly within

their favorite IDE. This plugin provides a rich, intuitive experience for visualizing, comparing, and editing JSON data,

ensuring maximum productivity with minimal effort.



## 🌟 Features



### 1. Multiple JSON Views



Explore your JSON data in the view that suits your needs:



- **JSON View**: A raw, yet structured view for direct manipulation.

- **Table View**: View JSON data in a tabular format, allowing easy navigation through key-value pairs.

- **Tree View**: A hierarchical view of your JSON, perfect for exploring deeply nested structures.



### 2. JSON Comparison



Easily compare two JSON files side-by-side to see:



- **Nodes Added**: Identifies new elements introduced in the updated JSON.

- **Nodes Removed**: Tracks items that have been deleted.

- **Nodes Modified**: Highlights changes in values for existing keys.



This feature is especially useful for version control, code reviews, or verifying the integrity of your data.



### 3. Interactive Table Editing



- **Double-click Editing**: In the **Table View**, you can double-click on any cell to open a detailed view of the JSON

  element in a subpanel. From there, you can choose different view modes to further inspect or edit the JSON.

- **Nested JSON Support**: Seamlessly explore and edit deeply nested JSON elements within the table view.



### 4. Offline Functionality



Designed with **corporate users** in mind, the plugin works entirely **offline**. This means:



- **No Internet Connection Required**: All JSON operations (viewing, comparing, editing) happen locally on your machine.

- **Data Privacy and Security**: Since no data is sent over the internet, it is ideal for environments where data

  privacy is paramount.



## 🛡️ Corporate Use Case



This plugin was built with **corporate environments** in mind, where **data privacy** is crucial. Since it operates

entirely offline:



- You don’t need to worry about sensitive data being uploaded or shared with online services.

- All processing happens locally, making it a safe choice for companies with strict data protection policies.
