What is a .Hjson file?
Hjson is a human-friendly take on JSON with comments and relaxed syntax.
- Did you know
- Hjson drops JSON’s strict punctuation to make config easier for people to edit.
- Hjson was created by Christian Zangl to spare people JSON’s strict punctuation, allowing comments, unquoted keys and strings, and optional or trailing commas.
- It is meant purely as a human-facing editing layer, expected to be converted to plain JSON before a program consumes it.
- What Analyser shows you
- Open and read structured developer data files: Jupyter notebooks (IPYNB) rendered cell by cell with their markdown, code and captured outputs (text and images); HAR network captures shown as a request table with status, type, size and timing; and the JSON supersets JSON5, JSONC and Hjson shown as selectable source with an expandable value tree.
- Open a .Hjson file
- Drag a .Hjson file onto the Analyser home page (or tap to pick one). It opens entirely in your browser - nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and it works offline once installed.
