[JSON Viewer] Add ability to access the JSON object from the Console #174

Open captainbrosset opened 10 months ago

JSON viewer support is a great addition to Edge. One thing I would like to see is to expose the json content as a variable on DevTools console.

As a workaround, I tried the following on the console, which works for smaller outputs (smaller than the visible page): json = JSON.parse(document.getElementsByClassName("cm-content")[0].innerText)

However, it seems for bigger JSONs (when scrollbar exists), the page is rendered as we scroll it, not allowing to read the entire json and giving the error Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse
