Host a JSON file as a link.
Drop your .json and get a clean URL. The link opens as a collapsible tree in the browser, and the raw file is one click away.
Key points
- Upload a .json file and get a public link in seconds, no signup.
- The link renders the data as a collapsible tree in the browser; the download serves the file exactly as you saved it.
- Tidy messy JSON in the free formatter first, so what you share is readable.
- Free with no signup; 25MB per file is enough for a long API response or a sizeable config dump.
JSON is the data format every developer hands to every other developer. API responses, config exports, structured logs, anything that wants to be machine-readable and human-skimmable. The annoying part of sharing it is that pasting 800 lines of JSON into Slack turns the channel into static, and emailing it as an attachment makes a small thing feel heavy. A NudgeHost link opens the data as a collapsible tree in the recipient's browser, with a download button for grabbing the raw file.
The file is stored exactly as you upload it, so the kindness happens before the upload. If the JSON is messy (minified, inconsistently indented, or assembled from multiple sources), clean up minified JSON first; what lands in your teammate's editor is then something a human can actually scan.
Files past the 25MB free-plan ceiling are usually log dumps that would compress to a fraction of the size; zip or gzip them first and you can share a ZIP file, with the archive travelling as one download. JSON that's really tabular data may be friendlier to non-developers as a CSV export from your tooling.
Ten active files free with no signup; upgrade to Pro for higher limits. If the JSON is something you want to keep editable, swapping the source file in your dashboard updates the link without changing the URL, which is convenient for sharing a dev API mock that keeps evolving.

What does the recipient get when they click?
The JSON rendered as a collapsible tree in the browser, for files up to 10MB, plus a download button. The raw file arrives exactly as you saved it.
Does NudgeHost validate my JSON?
No. The file is stored as uploaded. Run it through the free JSON formatter first if you want it checked and tidied before sharing.
How big a JSON file can I host?
25MB on the free plan. Above that, zip or gzip the file and host the archive; it travels as one download.
