Quickly identify large branches in JSON API endpoints.
npm install -g json-weight
curl -s http://example.com/api/endpoint.json | json-weight
Why?
When conducting performance audits, we found it difficult to determine the shape of JSON API endpoints. Why was the output so large? What was the source of the problem?
json-weight
is a simple tool to assist in the troubleshooting of
large JSON endpoints.
Usage
output-command | json-weight <depth> (optional)
For example:
curl http://code.viget.com/json-weight/endpoint.json | json-weight
curl http://code.viget.com/json-weight/endpoint.json | json-weight 2
