Visualize JSON
Working a little bit like <CFDUMP >, JSON Visualization allows you to quickly view your structures outline. Also from the left hand menu there are some basic options to manipulate/preserve the data futher.
If you want to test it out below is a block of JSON from Wikipedia

Talking of CFDUMP in Javascript it's worth having a look at this:
http://www.netgrow.com.au/files/javascript_dump.cf...
Which emulates it within Javascript. I've found it really handy when I need specific information back quickly. As useful as Firebug is it can sometimes give you a bit too much information back.
Also is Chris Jordon's ColdFusion Function Javascript library:

Great stuff!
the dump plugin for jquery $.dump(x) is also a great tool when debugging complex javascript variables
