Just today i wanted to inspect a few MB json file to analyze some API data. I have a $7k custom made developer desktop with all at max. Tried to paste it to the regular web json inspectors like jsoneditoronline.org, basically just hanged all the browsers. Had to spend some time to search for a proper native tool that barely got the job done for what i needed.

Back in the day, when a 25 MHz processor and 8 MB RAM was the spec for a powerful UNIX workstation with GUI, stuff like XML and JSON was simply not an option.
