Json URL displays only data in curly brackets but not the systematic readable representation of the profile

Hi all, When I go to the url http://teamtreehouse/username.json it only displays data in curly brackets. In the lesson's video the systematic format shows.

all text

Any idea how can I get it to have the same format?

Many thanks.

Hi a k,

Go under the Teacher's Notes in the video, and there are two links for JSON view in the notes. You need to either use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to use this extension. If you use Safari, you can look up "json view safari" and find some resources for viewing JSON in a more readable format. In IE, I believe it is a bit more difficult, but I can't/don't use IE.

Thank you so much. After adding the extension it is working in Chrome.
