JSONCrack Codebase Analysis - Part 1. File Structure
jsoncrack.com is a popular opensource tool used to visualise json into a mindmap. It is built using Next.js.
We, at TThroo, love open source and perform codebase analysis on popular repositories, document, and provide a detailed explanation of the codebase. This enables OSS enthusiasts to learn and contribute to open source projects, and we also apply these learnings in our projects.
Let's get started with File structure.
