JSON Lite: Fast and Efficient JSON Viewer for Edge

JSON Lite is a high-speed, comprehensive JSON viewer for the Edge browser. It's equipped with the ability to format JSON/JSONP responses and text on every page effectively. It facilitates simplified browsing with features like collapsible arrays, objects, and values. The tool is designed to cope with large JSON files (over 10MB) and works earnestly to represent even invalid JSON files. It preserves the original numeric order in objects and retains large number values without rounding them off. Features like 'Save as..' allows the user to save the original JSON document and the user can select and copy a working JSON from the formatted JSON with ease.
