Every obvious tool falls over: the text editor freezes, the browser tab crashes, <code>jq</code> gets you a slice but not a way to <em>browse</em>, and &ldquo;online JSON viewers&rdquo; are a non-starter for anything sensitive or large. The usual workaround is writing a throwaway script just to peek at the shape of the data — which is a lot of friction for a question as simple as &ldquo;what&rsquo;s actually in this file?&rdquo;</p>
