Why JSON files come up so often
JSON is a common format for settings, fixtures, API examples, package metadata, and lightweight structured data. When you need a quick starter file, creating it directly in the project folder saves a context switch.
Create the file where the data belongs
CreateFiles+ creates a blank .json file from Finder, the menu bar, or a shortcut so the file starts in the correct folder.
Useful alongside the browser generator
The Blank File Generator can download a starter JSON file from the browser, while CreateFiles+ handles the daily Mac workflow directly from Finder.
How to do it with CreateFiles+
- Open the folder where the JSON file should live.
- Open CreateFiles+ from Finder, the menu bar, or a shortcut.
- Choose JSON File.
- Rename the new .json file and open it in your editor.
