Open the JSON Sidebar in any data table in one of two ways - Right click any row and select See Details, or click the :material-dock-right: icon in the application title bar.
The JSON sidebar allows you to view any record in JSON format. It's a great way to view wide-tables, complex schemas, and nested fields.
Once you have the data you like, simply copy the data -- it's normal JSON!
You can click a foreign key in the JSON sidebar to expand the record in-line. This is super useful for join tables or schemas where a lot of joins are used to organize data better (looking at you Ruby on Rails 👀).
