What makes this extension lightweight?
* It uses very little RAM

Unlike other extensions like similar to this one Lightweight JSON Viewer uses an event page and a tiny content script which means RAM usage will be next to nothing when it isn't used.

* It doesn't take up much space

Other similar extensions use fancy JSON parsing libraries to check for errors and handle edge cases. This extension on the other hand uses the built-in JSON.parse method which already exists in the browser.

Upcoming features:
* Options to customize how JSON is displayed
* Shortcuts for navigating and searching JSON
