JSON Lite: Fast and Efficient JSON Viewer Add-on for Firefox

JSON Lite is a user-friendly Firefox add-on designed for handling JSON/JSONP easily. It can outline arrays, objects, long values and also helps in encoding and decoding. JSON Lite is capable of showing large (10MB+) and even invalid JSON files. It provides the feature to count items and properties in the collection and displays their sizes. It also retains the original sequence of numeric keys, avoiding rounding off large numbers. Additionally, the 'Save as' feature enables saving the original JSON document.
