🔎 Main features

Syntax highlighting

The extension colors JSON parts so keys, values, and structure are easier to scan.

Domain verification

It checks seller domains against ads.txt and app-ads.txt records to help you spot mismatches.

Badge status

It shows status signals for each record so you can review items without opening each line.

Aggregate analytics

It groups data and gives quick counts that help with file review.

Filtered export

You can limit the list to the records you want and export only those rows.

Chrome extension workflow

It fits into a normal Chrome flow, so you can review files without extra software.

🧩 How to check a sellers.json file

Use this simple flow:

1. Open the sellers.json file in Chrome or load it through the extension.
2. Wait for the file to parse.
3. Scan the seller ID, name, domain, and type fields.
4. Check for missing or empty values.
5. Review domain checks against ads.txt or app-ads.txt.
6. Look for badge changes or status flags.
7. Filter the rows that need more review.
8. Export the clean set or the problem set for later work.

📁 Exporting filtered data

If you need a smaller file for review, use the export feature.

Good times to export:

• When you want only invalid rows
• When you need one partner or one domain
• When you want to share a short list with a team member
• When you need a clean file for an ad-ops task

Keep the export in a folder that is easy to find, such as Downloads or Desktop.
