## What it is
JSON-Splora is an Electron-based desktop GUI for editing, visualizing, and manipulating JSON data. It parses relaxed JSON5 input and lets users filter and transform data live using JavaScript or jq queries.

## Use cases
- edit and visualize  files with a gui
- filter  data with jq queries
- transform  objects with javascript
- open  from a url or drag-and-drop a file
- work with relaxed 5 input including comments
- live preview of  filter output

## When to choose
- you want a desktop GUI instead of command-line jq
- you need to explore and transform JSON interactively with live output
- you work with non-strict JSON (comments, relaxed syntax)

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool with recent updates
- you only need programmatic JSON processing in scripts
- you need JSON schema validation or large-file performance

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: gui, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, files
- platform: cross-platform, windows
- tags: -editor, jq, 5, codemirror, -viewer, electron, desktop, macos, linux
