Example

Here's an example of a JSON structure and its visualization:

{
  "company": {
    "name": "Tech Corp",
    "founded": 2010,
    "locations": [
      {
        "city": "San Francisco",
        "employees": 500
      },
      {
        "city": "New York",
        "employees": 300
      }
    ],
    "departments": {
      "engineering": {
        "head": "John Smith",
        "size": 200
      },
      "marketing": {
        "head": "Jane Doe",
