JSON Copilot

Interactive Mind Map Visualization

February 2026

Feature Visualization

See the big picture. The mind map tab renders your entire JSON as a zoomable, pannable graph — making it easy to explore deeply nested data visually.

Why a Mind Map?

Tree views are great for detail, but when your JSON has dozens of nested objects and arrays it can be hard to see the overall shape. The mind map gives you a bird's-eye view of your data, with each key rendered as a node and connections showing the parent-child hierarchy.

It's especially useful for exploring unfamiliar API responses, understanding complex configuration files, and presenting data structures to teammates.

Features

  • Zoom & Pan: Scroll to zoom, drag to pan around large structures
  • Collapse / Expand: Click nodes to collapse or expand subtrees
  • Value Preview: Leaf nodes display their value inline (strings, numbers, booleans, null)
  • Bidirectional Sync: Click a node in the mind map and the editor cursor jumps to that path — and vice versa
  • AI Copilot Sync: When you click a field in the Explain panel, the mind map highlights the matching node
  • Persistent Viewport: Your zoom level and position are remembered between tab switches

How to Use

  1. 1Paste or load valid JSON into the editor
  2. 2Click the Mind Map tab in the output panel
  3. 3Explore the graph: scroll to zoom, drag to pan, click nodes to expand or collapse
  4. 4Click any node to highlight the corresponding path in the editor

Good to Know

  • Client-Side: The mind map is rendered entirely in your browser using the G6 graph library. No data is sent to any server.
  • Performance: Works well with moderately large JSON. For very large files (10,000+ nodes) the initial render may take a moment.
  • Pair with Explain: Run AI Explain first, then switch to Mind Map — clicking fields in the Explain panel highlights nodes in the map.
