[Feature Request] Add JSON Tree View for gRPC Responses #380

@rajeshkarnena

Description

@rajeshkarnena

Inspecting large and deeply nested JSON responses in the current plain-text format is challenging. It would greatly improve the user experience if grpcui could render gRPC responses in a collapsible JSON tree view, similar to tools like jsoneditoronline.org.

This would help users:

  • Easily navigate and explore large JSON responses.
  • Quickly identify key fields and values without scrolling through raw text.
  • Potentially enable JSONPath-style querying in the future for advanced filtering and validation.

Suggested Implementation Ideas:

  • Add a toggle to switch between raw JSON and tree view.
  • Use an existing lightweight JSON tree viewer (e.g., jsoneditor or similar).
  • Optionally allow searching or filtering within the JSON tree.

This feature would make grpcui more user-friendly for developers debugging complex gRPC services. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
