Well I was searching view json file in WebBrowser in my Desktop app, when I try in IE still same problem IE was also prompt to download the file. Luckily after too much search I find the solution for it.

You need to : Open Notepad and paste the following:

    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/json]
    "CLSID"="{25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}"
    "Encoding"=hex:08,00,00,00

Save document as Json.reg and then right click on file and run as administrator.

After this You can view json file in IE and you Desktop WebBrowser enjoy :)

I would also recommend to use Notepad   with json-view extension  You get the extension here  https   sourceforge net projects nppjsonviewer  Install and restart Notepad    Then open json-file in Notepad and go to  extensions -  Json-Viewer -   Format JSON  Then you habe the hierarchical view of json   You can also use one of the online-viewers  http   jsonviewer stack hu    https   jsoneditoronline org   which look nice  but I wouldn t recommend this if your data are sensitive in terms of privacy

If there is a Content-Disposition  attachment reponse header  Firefox will ask you to save the file  even if you have JSONView installed to format JSON    To bypass this problem  I removed the header   Content-Disposition    null  with moz-rewrite Firefox addon that allows you to modify request and response headers https   addons mozilla org en-US firefox addon moz-rewrite-js   An example of JSON file served with this header is the Twitter API  it looks like they added it recently   If you want to try this JSON file  I have a script to access Twitter API in browser  https   gist github com baptx ffb268758cd4731784e3

For Safari 12 and later  you can try the JSONBeautifier bookmarklet  Also works with other browsers  I created this because JSON Formatter for Safari stopped working in Safari 12  There are a few new options for Safari 12  but I didn t find an open source one in the App Store  and I do not trust closed source browser extensions  This can be used as a bookmarklet or the source  json-beautifier js  can be copied and pasted into the browser console  The code is freely available for review and is less than 100 lines of code including comments  Runs entirely on your device and never sends your data over a network  Works with local files too

If you don t want to install extensions  you can simply prepend the URL with view-source   e g  view-source http   content dimestore com prod survey data 4535 4535 json  This usually works in Firefox and Chrome  will still offer to download the file however if Content-Disposition  attachment header is present

In Chrome  use JSONView to view formatted JSON     To view  local    json files  - after install You must open the Extensions option from Window menu  - Check box next to  Allow Access to File URLs  - note that save is automatic  i e  no explicit save necessary   Re-open the   json file and it should be formatted
