How to Use:

Paste your JSON into the input box or import a file using “Choose File.” Then enter a word, key, or value into the “Search Keys/Values” box. The tool searches your data and shows all matching paths and values on the right. It looks inside arrays and nested objects too. You’ll see how many results were found, and you can copy or export them instantly. Use “Clear All” to start fresh.

What Find JSON Keys/Values can do:

Find JSON Keys/Values makes it easy to dig through large or complex JSON. Whether you’re looking for a key name, a partial value, or both, it pulls out every match and shows you exactly where it lives in the structure. It works across deeply nested levels and handles objects, arrays, booleans, numbers, and strings. Great for exploring APIs or auditing unfamiliar data fast.

Example:

Input:

{
  "user": {
    "name": "Alice",
    "role": "admin"
  },
  "settings": {
    "theme": "dark",
    "permissions": ["admin", "edit"]
  }
}

Search: admin

Output:

user.role: "admin"
settings.permissions[0]: "admin"

Common Use Cases:

Use this tool when you’re working with massive JSON dumps or third-party API responses and need to quickly find what you’re looking for. It’s great for developers, analysts, and testers trying to isolate keys, confirm value presence, or reverse-engineer schema from data. No expanding trees or trial-and-error just type and go.

Useful Tools & Suggestions:

When JSON needs to be unpacked, all keys and values can be extracted with Extract JSON Keys. After that, for better readability, Highlight JSON Syntax can be applied so patterns and structures are more easily seen.
