🙋‍♂️ How can we help you?

Hi @jaywcjlove

First, thank you for creating and maintaining the DevHub application. It is an excellent and feature-rich tool that is very helpful for daily development tasks.

I regularly use the JSON Formatter tool and find it very effective for visualizing and debugging JSON data. To make it even more powerful, I would like to request the addition of a search and replace functionality.

Current Functionality:
The tool currently formats JSON beautifully, which is great for readability.

Proposed Enhancement:
It would be extremely helpful to be able to search for specific strings (both keys and values) within the JSON and replace them directly in the tool. This could include options like "Find Next," "Replace," and "Replace All."

Use Case:
When working with large JSON objects, developers often need to find all instances of a certain value (like a test user ID or a placeholder URL) and replace them. Currently, this requires copying the content to an external text editor. Integrating this feature would streamline the workflow significantly.

Thank you for your dedication to the DevHub project. Looking forward for your response.
