## MOTW
[JSON:API Node Preview Tab](https://www.drupal.org/project/jsonapi_node_preview_tab)
Adds a tab to nodes that allows a quick preview of the node's representation as JSON:API. If using this with a Chrome browser, we suggest using the JSONVue extension to improve the formatting, with the option enabled to format contents in frames.
