    Also, since the format is very specific, you can’t use any tools to navigate it, except text search. Tools like goast-viewer can help with this, but capabilities are limited.

    One project goblin, which I tried to use for a while, is quite good and mature, but it misses support of backward conversion from JSON to AST. It tries to reinterpret some structures in AST to (I guess) simplify and make them more human-readable. My personal opinion - it is not good. But the main issue with it is lack of maintenance. It was developed a long time ago for version 1.16 and was not updated since then. However, you can find a fork of it relatively up to date.
