There's still a huge amount of COBOL code running everything from banking to government to utilities to basically any industry that computerized early. Those programmers are retiring and in many cases, dead. COBOL is coming back into style as a result and COBOL jobs are some of the highest paying programming jobs available.

I remember near the start of the pandemic, some state in the USA had their ancient, insufficiently maintained, Cobol-based unemployment claim system fall over and they begged Cobol experts to come and fix it for free.

I use this to view/convert raw json. view mostly.
codebeautify - json[^]
** you paste your raw JSON in the left pane and then click the "tree viewer" button to see it formatted and collapsible, etc.
I just edit the JSON in Visual Code or Visual Studio if I am using that.
I also believe there is an extension for Visual Code that "beutifies/formats" raw json for easier reading.

CodeBeautify
I think it fits most/all of your criteria (other than the ads, I guess - but then “ads pay for my internet “).plus, they have a bunch of other handy stuff I use besides JSON.

It has taken me 14 years to score 10000 rep points. At this rate, it will only take me another 3771 years to reach @OriginalGriff's current score.

OG's rep points graph is exponential; ours are linear. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Surprisingly, it's pretty linear. If you go to my home page: OriginalGriff - Professional Profile[^] and click the "reputation" tab you'll see what I mean.

It's not entirely linear, at the current pace your debator points will overtake your authority points in a few years.

On a half-log graph?

Congratulations!
Have a few more to help you on your way to overtaking me.

That's a wild exaggeration!
I'll be about 50,000,000 short ...

does your unread messages indicator still say something like 50K+ (that was last year, I believe)?

Talk to Chris. Maybe you can get him to let OG's rep point counter go into reverse!
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Once his hits the 2G mark it should roll over and count in reverse shouldn't it?

At 2G his rep score will cause the site to crash (in ~5800 CE) At that point, Chris CLXII will kick OG CLX off the site for violating the TOS by bringing the site down.

OK - this isn't well known so keep it quiet.
O.G. mines CP points much in the same way others mine cryptocurrency. They can be purchased at a reasonable price and group purchases may receive quantity discounts.
Remember - don't say anything about this - we don't want it to get around.

Nice, congrats!
If you go steady you'll certainly hit that mark in 3771 years!
Here's a small head start from me 
|

The reality is it's kind of like the show "Who's Line Is It?" here - everything's made up and the points don't matter.
