PKL Viewer

View Python pickle (.pkl) files directly in VS Code. Defaults to a quick, safe disassembly of the pickle file which does not execute any code. Optionally, load the file using pickle for a more readable format.

Available on VS Code Marketplace and OpenVSX.

Features

• Quick and safe pickle disassembly (no code execution, uses pickletools)
• Option to view the pickle file in a more readable format (uses pickle; may be unsafe for untrusted files, beware)
• No additional setup: activates as soon as you open a .pkl file
