Introducing TOON: A New Way to Visualize JSON Data
JSON is great for machines but boring for humans. Discover TOON, a new format that turns raw data into colorful, comic-style visualizations for better presentations.
Let's face it: JSON is boring.
Presenting an API response to stakeholders or students usually involves staring at a black-and-white text file. It's functional, but it's not engaging.
What if your data could tell a story?
What is TOON?
TOON is an experimental format designed to make JSON data approachable, fun, and visually distinct. It takes standard JSON objects and renders them as colorful, comic-book style cards.
Standard JSON:
json{
"character": "Robot",
"status": "Online",
"power": 95
}TOON Format:
Imagine a colorful card, comic-style font, and visual indicators for the "power" level. That's TOON.
Why Use JSON to TOON?
1. Education & Teaching
Teaching API concepts to beginners? A wall of text is intimidating. A TOON card is friendly. It helps students visualize objects as "entities" rather than just brackets.
2. Social Sharing
Built something cool? Share your API config or data structure on Twitter/LinkedIn. A JSON screenshot gets scrolled past. A TOON visual gets attention.
3. Fun & Delight
Software doesn't always have to be serious. Adding a bit of flair to your internal dashboards or documentation can make the developer experience more enjoyable.
