I could actually get a lot of use out of a tool like this, but the fact that even the VSCode extension sends the JSON to their servers and opens it at a publicly accessible URL makes this a no-go for me. I wouldn&amp;#x27;t recommend anyone use this for any remotely sensitive data.</text></comment>
