## Install

|
2016-10-14 23:46:00 +08:00
|
|

|
2013-05-04 04:55:15 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Versions
|
2013-05-04 04:55:15 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-14 23:46:00 +08:00
|
|
|
There are two versions of jsoneditor available: a full version and
|
|
|
|
|
a minimalist version.
|
2013-05-04 04:55:15 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-14 23:46:00 +08:00
|
|
|
#### Full version
|
2013-05-04 18:09:14 +08:00
|
|
|
|
2016-10-14 23:46:00 +08:00
|
|
|
If you're not sure which version to use, use the full version: jsoneditor.js.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Minimalist version
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The minimalist version, jsoneditor-minimalist.js, has excluded the following libraries:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `ace` (via `brace`), used for the code editor.
|
|
|
|
|
- `ajv`, used for JSON schema validation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This reduces the the size of the minified and gzipped JavaScript considerably.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When to use the minimalist version?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- If you don't need the mode "code" and don't need JSON schema validation.
|
|
|
|
|
- Or if you want to provide `ace` and/or `ajv` yourself via the configuration
|
|
|
|
|
options, for example when you already use Ace in other parts of your
|
|
|
|
|
web application too and don't want to bundle the library twice.
