Tool for editing and manipulation JSON? - json

Question

JSON is very popular among social network sites.
I have been searching tools for analyzing JSON and found some good tools for viewing but they do not meet my needs. (like http://jsonviewer.codeplex.com/)
I need to search and filter the data by specific a field and then get some value from another specific field.
Can you suggest a tool or a way to view my JSON data easily?
sample data:

what i need is for example:
getting values of 'link' from 'created_time' in january
getting values of 'message' and 'picture' plus all 'name' and 'message' inside 'comments' if there are any

Answer 1

I mostly use this tool http://codedestine.com/json-editor.html It has feature to add date and its drag and drop UI makes it easy to construct json. It will show you json in object view, then you can select any node and get its data and even can modify it.

Answer 2

If Java tools are OK, look at JSONPath, article http://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
Data may be interactively found and extracted out of JSON structures on the client without special scripting.

Answer 3

There is also JSONselect http://jsonselect.org/#tryit I have found today.
JSONSelect is an experimental selector language for JSON.
It makes it easy to access data in complex JSON documents.
It feels like CSS.
