Remarks

JsonReporter writes one file for each report produced by a reporting plugin when you stop recording. Files are named <ReportingPlugin>_JsonReporter<extension>. Most reports are strict JSON with the .json extension, but some reports use a different extension and format:

Plugin	File name	Format
UrlDiscoveryPlugin	UrlDiscoveryPlugin_JsonReporter.jsonc	JSON with comments (JSONC)
All other plugins	<ReportingPlugin>_JsonReporter.json, for example ExecutionSummaryPlugin_JsonReporter.json	JSON

When you process reports with scripts or tools, match both extensions (for example, *_JsonReporter.json*) and use a parser that supports comments for .jsonc files.

JsonReporter writes report files to the current working directory, which is the folder from which you started Dev Proxy.

If a file with that name already exists, JsonReporter doesn't overwrite it. Instead, it appends a timestamp in the yyyyMMddHHmmss format to the file name, for example ExecutionSummaryPlugin_JsonReporter_20261105103000.json.
