JSON Explorer/Browser

There are a lot of discussion posts about JSON; responses from Web APIs, Firebase, maps, etc. Thunkable does not have a native way to view JSON, other than converting it to text and trying to parse it manually. Therefore I created a little screen that will parse a JSON object and allow you to “explore” in a way similar to the Firebase data viewer.

I will admit it is not very pretty, but it does the job. In this sample app there are two buttons that will either load the data from the firebase database or load data from a collection of blocks. You could very easily add a button to part the response object from a Web API, or any other source.

Happy Thunking!
