Search inside structured JSON

Ctrl+F on raw JSON text misses matches buried in nested objects. CalcForge walks the parsed tree and reports every path where your term appears—keys, string values, or both—so you can jump straight to the data you need.

Good fits

  • Locating a user ID or error code inside a large log export
  • Finding all occurrences of a deprecated field name before migration
  • Exploring unfamiliar webhook payloads from third-party integrations
  • Spot-checking PII fields during compliance reviews
Search term: "error"

Hits:
/logs/2/message  → "error: timeout"
/meta/status     → "error"

Practical notes

  • Search is case-sensitive by default—adjust your term if matches seem missing.
  • Numbers and booleans are not text-searched; use JSON Path for typed queries.
  • For regex or advanced filters, export matches and continue in your editor or script.

Frequently asked questions

Does search look inside arrays?

Yes. Every nested object and array element is scanned and reported with its full path.

Can I search for partial key names?

Substring matching applies to both keys and string values, so partial terms like "email" will hit "userEmail".

Is there a size limit?

Very large documents run entirely in-browser and may slow older devices. Split files if performance drops.
