Introduction
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you need to inspect the JSON data in developer tools? If so, you might click through properties to expand them and see what is inside. However, with a nested JSON it could take some clicks to get to what you are looking for. What if there is a better way? Well, there is :)
Did you know you could recursively expand JSON objects in Chrome DevTools?
You can expand a JSON object recursively in chrome developer tools by either right clicking on the object and choosing the expand recursively option from the context menu or using a keyboard shortcut for the same, which is ALT + Click on Windows and Command + Click on Mac.
