Show HN: I built a JSON viewer that decodes Base64 media inline
I built this for myself while debugging multimodal AI APIs.
The problem: I kept running into JSON responses stuffed with Base64-encoded images. Every time, I had to copy the string, find an online decoder, paste, preview. Repeat for each image. It got old fast.
So I made ViewJSON. Paste your JSON, and it automatically detects and renders Base64 media inline: images, audio, video, even PDFs. No more copy-paste decode loops.
Other things it does:
- Format/minify JSON
- Paste an image, get Base64 string (reverse direction)
- Build API requests, copy as cURL
- Variable substitution for testing
- Share JSON via URL
