It automatically detects the file type and displays either a collapsible tree view for JSON or a formatted table for CSV.

  • Alternating row colors for readability
  • Adapts automatically to light or dark themes

  • Expand and collapse nested objects and arrays
  • Color coding for strings, numbers, booleans, and null values
  • Styled to match the current VS Code theme

The extension works with any .csv or .json file.
