Postman JSON Chopper

Postman JSON Chopper is a simple yet powerful Node.js tool designed to split up large Postman collection JSON files into smaller, more manageable files and folders. It can also merge these smaller files back together when needed. This makes working with large collections easier, especially when using version control systems like Git.
