Platform-Specific Implementation

​

Discord Implementation

• Commands use Discord’s subcommand system with named parameters (e.g., input:)
• Responses appear as embeds in the channel where the command is invoked
• Formatting is preserved in code blocks with syntax highlighting
• Large JSON outputs may be truncated with an indicator

​

Slack Implementation

• Commands use a simpler format where input follows directly after the action
• Responses are shown with formatted blocks showing the input and output
• For very large JSON, output may be uploaded as a file attachment
• The command supports help functionality by simply typing /json

​

Use Cases

• Format JSON to make it more readable
• Verify the validity of a JSON string
• Clean poorly formatted JSON or remove escape characters
• Share clean JSON code in Discord or Slack conversations
• Extract JSON from logs by cleaning unwanted characters

​

Notes

• Very long JSON strings may be truncated in the display or provided as file attachments
• The command works with nested JSON objects and arrays
