JSON and JSON Lines

JSON opens as a tree you can fold, and JSON Lines as a table with one row per line.

JSON

A .json file opens as a tree, open two levels deep. Click any object or array to fold it; each one shows how many keys or items it holds.

jalco-drop response.json
curl -s https://api.example.com/orders/42 | jalco-drop -n order.json

A file that doesn’t parse, or has more than 20,000 values, opens as highlighted code instead. Some JSON files open as something more specific: a Playwright report as test results, and a .excalidraw.json file as a drawing.

JSON Lines

A .jsonl or .ndjson file opens as a table, one row per line and a column for each field. Nested values show as JSON in their cell. The table shows the first 500 rows and 50 columns.

A session file from Claude Code, Codex or Pi opens as the conversation instead. See Agent sessions.

Source and raw

Source in the ... menu, or ?view=source on the link, shows the file as highlighted code. The raw file is at /<slug>/<file name>.
