I've been working with APIs a lot recently, and one thing keeps annoying me.

Whenever I need to debug a JSON response, I end up opening multiple websites.

One for validation.

Another for formatting.

Another for comparing two JSON files.

Another for repairing invalid JSON.

It made me wonder - why is this workflow still so fragmented?

Before I spend time building something for myself, I'd rather understand how other developers handle it.

So I have a few questions:

• What's your go-to JSON tool?
• What feature do you wish existing JSON tools had?
• What's the most frustrating JSON-related problem you've run into?
• Is there something you end up doing manually that should be automated?

I'm collecting ideas because I'm building a free JSON toolkit as a side project, and I'd rather solve real problems than recreate tools that already exist.

Any feedback or pain points would be genuinely helpful.
