The JSON & XML Tool app lets you view, create and edit JSON and XML files with ease, by using its simple hierarchical view. The tool is useful for various scenarios, for example, it lets you edit and make game addons. In addition, the app can be used for conversion between types, for example, loading a JSON and then saving it as an XML. Both formats are supported interchangeably by the hierarchical view, it acts as the XML viewer to display XML documents and as the JSON viewer to visualize JSON trees.
Introduction to JSON & XML Tool
This JSON & XML Tool app is very simple to use:
• The data can be created using the JSON creator and the XML creator
• Alternatively, existing data can be loaded using the internal JSON reader and the XML reader
• Once the data is ready, it can viewed by the built-in JSON viewer and the XML viewer
• Edit the data using the JSON editor and the XML editor provided by the app
• Save the work to a JSON / XML file or share it as text to your favorite text editor or a file reader app
The app uses the file viewer (storage browser) provided by the Storage Access Framework and does not require storage permissions (read-and-write access). However, the app will request storage permissions in some cases, such as when a JSON / XML file was loaded using an external file viewer without providing proper access.
