Chrome/JSONView: How to invoke

Hi,
I just added JSONView to my Chrome extensions. it now shows on my list of extensions as follows...

...however, how do I activate it to view a .JSON file? Can it be used for local files (which I need) as well as a web page?

Thanks,
Steve

I'm not familiar with that tool, but my guess is that if you right-click a json document and then "Open With --> Chrome", the tool will take over and validate it. If you choose to always open json with Chrome, you won't need to right-click in the future. Try that and post back if it works (and let me know if it's a worthwhile tool!).

Hi,
CHROME is not an available choice, and so far I can't find it when I search.
Thanks.

Further question:
Maybe the whole thing is transparent?

I ran a query someone gave me that produces JSON output. It displayed, apparently in Chrome in the format I needed (e.g. one field per line). So maybe there's nothing more to do, now that JSON viewer is installed on Chrome?

Thanks, everyone. So, I'm going to use the JSON viewer for web content, and figure out how to handle local files. Fortunately, for this project, it seems the data will be on web pages. :)

Thanks, and have  a good week, everyone!
