Does anyone have any recommendations for applications or browser plugins that make browsing and visualizing JSON APIs easy. Please support your answer with a reference or link to the application you recommend.
This one looks quite good, it's a firefox plugin called JSONView
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10869
Also ported to a chrome extension

Johns tool is nice. Anoter nice online tool is http://jsonviewer.stack.hu/
I'm not completely sure what you're asking.
If you're looking for a JSON viewer to examine complex JSON strings, take a look at JSON Visualizer.
If you're looking for a way to browse an API, consult that API's documentation.
For completeness there is also this http://www.codeplex.com/JsonViewer I have only tried the stand-alone, and it seems to do the basics ok. However the firefox plugin had less friction for what I was doing.
From the documentation:
The JSON View package is a set of 3 viewers available in the following flavors:
- A standalone viewer - JsonView.exe
- A plugin for Fiddler 2 (http://www.fiddler2.com/) - FiddlerJsonViewer.dll
- A visualizer for Viusal Studio 2005 - JsonVisualizer.dll
This is a simple option. http://jsonviewer.jaycodesign.co.nz/
Just copy the JSON in and see it visualized to the right.
Well, the list here is pretty comprehensive, I'll just add Jabulr, an online tool that attempts to show JSON in a tabular format. And, yes, it accepts a URL pointing to your JSON data.
Firebug in Firefox does the job when you have a url which returns json (Firebug is a must have for any web developer, if you don't have it installed already, you can get it here): with Firebug open and active navigate to your url in Firefox, in Firebug go to the Net tab, then click + sign next to your url in the grid, there should be a JSON tab available which you can use to explore your object in a tree view.
