JSON Text

Animated JSON display where keys type in letter-by-letter and values fade in afterward, with proper indentation and syntax-aware coloring for React applications.

JSON Text preview

Scroll to load preview

A JSON tree that draws itself the way you'd handwrite it. Keys appear character-by-character on a small stagger, then their values fade in once the key is fully written — so the surface reads as if it's being authored, not pasted. Strings render in green, numbers in amber, booleans/null in violet, keys in default foreground, and braces and brackets in muted neutral, which gives the output the same visual cadence as a syntax-highlighted code block. Indentation is configurable, nested objects and arrays recurse correctly, and the whole tree is triggered the first time it scrolls into view via Motion's whileInView so it plays exactly once. Built with motion/react and pure data-walking — no parsing libraries, no AST tools — and it's hydration-safe (no Date.now or random in render). Drop it on an API-docs hero, a config-file showcase, or a schema marketing section to give a JSON object the same kinetic respect a hero headline gets.
