# JSON Editor - History

https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor


## not yet released, version 4.0.0

- Ace editor and jsonlint are now packed with jsoneditor.js by default.
- Reworked the source code to CommonJS modules, using `brace` to load Ace.
- JSONP is now automatically stripped from JSON. Thanks @yanivefraim.


## 2015-01-25, version 3.2.0

- Implemented shortcut keys `Ctrl+\` to format and `Ctrl+Shift+\` to compact
  JSON when in mode `text` or `code`.
- Before an error is thrown because of invalid text, the editor first tries to
  sanitize the text (replace JavaScript notation with JSON notation), and only
  after that throws the error.
- Fixed Node.path() not working for a JSON Object `""`. Thanks @tomalec.
- Minor styling improvements.
- Fixed configured indentation not being applied to Ace editor.


## 2014-09-03, version 3.1.2

- JSONEditor now accepts JavaScript objects as input, and can turn them into
  valid JSON. For example `{a:2,b:'str'}` can be turned into `{"a":2,"b":"str"}`.
- Implemented an option `editable`, a callback function, which allows to set 
  individual nodes (their field and/or value) editable or read-only.
- Fixed: shortcut keys to manipulate the nodes are now disabled when mode 
  is `form` or `view`.


## 2014-05-31, version 3.0.0

  save bandwidth.


## 2012-04-21, version 1.0

  blue, and null is purple.

  a field, corresponding field including its childs is highlighted. This makes
  it easier to see what part of the data will be edited.

  an alert which pops up.
