JSON Viewer
That doesn't
choke

jsonbolt is a hardware-accelerated JSON viewer. Drop a 1 GB JSON file on it. The tree is open before your finger leaves the trackpad.

Open, search, and slice
multi-gigabyte JSON.

01 / VIRTUAL TREE

Expand 100M nodes.
Render only 60.

Virtualized tree renders just the visible rows. Scrolling stays at native refresh rate, no matter how deep the document goes.

02 / SEARCH

Search 1 GB
in 210 ms.

SIMD-accelerated search — plain text, key/value, regex, or type — sweeps the whole document and returns every match, tens of millions per second.

03 / URL

Paste a URL.
See the tree.

Drop any JSON endpoint in and the response lands in the tree like a local file. Save auth headers for the APIs you keep hitting.

04 / LOCAL-FIRST

Everything
stays local.

jsonbolt runs on your machine, not in a browser tab pointed at someone's server. No telemetry, no account, no upload. Your prod dumps and API keys never leave the disk.

05 / EXPORT

From JSON
to XML, CSV, or YAML.

Select a subtree and save it out as XML, CSV, or YAML — the jq-one-liner workflow, except you see what you're grabbing before you commit.

06 / HARDWARE ACCELERATION

SIMD on the CPU.
Layout on the GPU.

A SIMD parser runs bytes through wide vector lanes; tree layout and scrolling run on a WGPU pipeline. That's what opens a gigabyte in a third of a second.

CLI for your AI Agents
and automation.

The same JSON engine you use is available to your agent in the terminal. Inspect huge JSON files, search by key, value, JSONPath, or type, and extract exact results without dumping the whole document into your prompt. Purpose-built for JSON, so agents use fewer tokens and run faster.

  • jb schema, jb paths, jb keys reveal structure without value bloat
  • jb search supports key/value search, regex, types, --where, --exists
  • jb get and jb extract pull exact JSON values by path
  • --ai gives bounded JSONL envelopes with {path, preview, value}
  • Stdin, globs, and exit codes make it useful in scripts and CI
