Show HN: I built a JSON viewer that decodes Base64 media inline
viewjson.netI 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
