The open source tool JSON Crack produces diagrams from json data. This is very helpful for learning to write code that produces json and for visualisation of complex json.  
It is available as an online tool:  
[https://jsoncrack.com/editor](https://jsoncrack.com/editor)  
and for local installation as a Docker container:  
[https://github.com/AykutSarac/jsoncrack.com](https://github.com/AykutSarac/jsoncrack.com)

P.S. the editor will also tell you if a json is valid.

Fantastic tool ! Thanks for the tip. I have a scroll wheel on my mouse, the diagram is pretty sensible to the wheel.

I'd be curious to hear what people are using this for. I've seen this tool before but haven't really given it a try or found a personal use case for it yet.
