Features

Six connected features for exploring, searching, and editing JSON

GigaScope JSON Works combines tree navigation, graph visualization, search, detail inspection, and editing.
These features provide a connected workflow for JSON, JSONL, and GeoJSON.
It handles both small configuration files and GB-scale data efficiently.

TREE

Navigate the hierarchy

Expand deeply nested structures and jump straight to the node you need.

GRAPH

See nearby relationships

Visualize parents, children, and siblings so local structure is easy to understand.

PROPERTY

Inspect node details

Review the key, type, path, child count, and value for the selected node.

SEARCH

Search with precision

Search keys, values, and paths, then narrow results with condition filters or basic JSONPath.

EDIT

Edit, format, and clean up

Use syntax highlighting for direct edits, formatting, minification, and find-and-replace.

I/O

Import and export

Export a selected node, import CSV as JSON, and write data as CSV, YAML, or XML.

The synchronized tree, graph, detail pane, and editor support JSON structure review, search, editing, and related tasks.
Each pane can be rearranged or detached as an independent window, making multi-monitor workflows easy.

Use Cases

Typical workflows

Find and correct data

Use the tree to locate an item, check its value in the details pane, edit it, and save.

Extract data from large files

Open huge files in Index Mode and export only the nodes you need as JSON or JSONL.

Convert CSV, YAML, and XML

Import CSV as JSON, then export edited data as CSV, YAML, or XML.

Edit selected parts of huge files

Collect edits in Index Mode and write a new complete file with the changes applied.

Narrow results with search rules

Filter nodes by keyword, key, value, path, conditions, or JSONPath, then step through the matches.

Use multiple monitors

Detach the tree, graph, details, editor, and search results into separate windows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which file formats are supported?

JSON, GeoJSON, and JSONL are supported. CSV files can also be imported and converted into JSON.

What is the difference between Standard Mode and Index Mode?

Standard Mode is for small and medium-sized files up to around 100 MB and supports full-document editing, full-document search, bulk replace, and saving the entire file. Index Mode is for huge files several GB in size; it uses an index file created during loading to read node information, then supports exploration, limited-scope editing, and export.

Can I edit the original file in Index Mode?

In Index Mode, the original file is basically left unchanged. The editor works on individual nodes. Edits are accumulated as operation history and applied when you save all data as a new file.

What should I know when working with huge files?

Use Index Mode for huge files. Index Mode scans the source file and creates an index file with the .gjsidx extension. Once created, the index is reused when the same file is loaded again. The index file is roughly 3 to 6 times larger than the source file and is accessed randomly, so fast storage with enough free space is required.

What search options are available?

Search supports keywords, key names, values, paths, condition filters, selectable result columns, and basic JSONPath. Regular expression matching and case-sensitive search can also be toggled.
