JSON Crack is an open-source web application that helps visualize JSON data in a more intuitive and graphical format. Instead of viewing raw JSON as plain text, JSON Crack organizes and displays it as a tree or graph structure, making it easier to understand the relationships between objects, arrays, and key-value pairs.
This tutorial explains how to install JSON Crack inside a Docker container on Linux. Commands have been tested on Ubuntu.
Prepare environment
Make sure you have installed Docker in your system. If you are using Ubuntu, installation instructions can be found in the post.
Install JSON Crack
- Host network
Run the following command to create a container for JSON Crack that uses host network:
docker run -d --name=jsoncrack --restart=always --network=host \
shokohsc/jsoncrack
- User-defined bridge network
User-defined bridge network can be used for listening on different port. By default, JSON Crack service is listening on port 8080. It can be changed with -p
option.
docker network create app-net
docker run -d --name=jsoncrack --restart=always --network=app-net \
-p 8081:8080 \
shokohsc/jsoncrack
Testing JSON Crack
To access a web application, open a web browser and navigate to http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8080/editor
, where <IP_ADDRESS>
is the IP address of the system.
Uninstall JSON Crack
To completely remove JSON Crack, remove its container:
docker rm --force jsoncrack
Remove JSON Crack image:
docker rmi shokohsc/jsoncrack
If a user-defined bridge network was created, you can delete it as follows:
docker network rm app-net
