About Extract JSON Keys

Extract JSON Keys walks the entire JSON structure and lists every key with its full path.

  • Dotted Paths: Keys appear as address.city, projects.name — one per line.
  • Array Awareness: Arrays are traversed without adding index noise to the output.
  • Copy Ready: The key list is copied as clean, newline-separated text.

Useful for schema inspection, API documentation and comparing data structures.
