2. jq: A lightweight command-line tool that can be used to filter and manipulate JSON data. It supports a wide range of features such as searching, sorting, and transforming JSON data.
3. Postman: A tool that allows you to test APIs by sending HTTP requests and analyzing the responses. It also supports importing and exporting JSON data.
4. Visual Studio Code: A popular code editor that has built-in support for working with JSON files. It provides features such as syntax highlighting, auto-completion, and formatting.
5. JSON Editor Online: A web-based JSON editor that allows you to create and edit JSON data. It also provides a visual representation of the JSON data in a tree view.
6. JSON Viewer: A browser extension that formats and displays JSON data in a more readable format. It also supports collapsing and expanding JSON data.
7. JSONPlaceholder: A REST API that allows you to test JSON data. It provides a variety of endpoints that return JSON data that can be used for testing and development.

These tools can be very useful for developers and analysts who work with JSON data.
