Firefox Add-ons

Working with Grails and JSON/XML data is quite simple. However, during development sometimes it's nice to see what's being sent back and forth between the browser and the server. That's where these two Add-ons for FireFox come in.

1. HTTPFox - This little add-on will give you the ability to see the HTTP headers, posted data, query string data, and raw response (including XML and JSON). Always a handy little tool to have.

2. JSONView - While HTTPFox will show you the raw JSON in the response, this little add-on will show you the JSON in a formatted (pretty) way. Making debugging a bit easier.

These two add-ons have been a real life saver many of times for me when digging around trying to find that one little thing that is wrong. They might just help you too!
