# API Reference
## JSONEditor
### Constructor
#### `JSONEditor(container [, options [, json]])`
Constructs a new JSONEditor.
*Parameters:*
- `{Element} container`
An HTML DIV element. The JSONEditor will be created inside this container element.
- `{Object} options`
Optional object with options. The available options are described under
[Configuration options](#configuration-options).
- `{JSON} json`
Initial JSON data to be loaded into the JSONEditor. Alternatively, the method `JSONEditor.set(json)` can be used to load JSON data into the editor.
*Returns:*
- `{JSONEditor} editor`
New instance of a JSONEditor.
### Configuration options
- `{Object} ace`
Provide a custom version of the [Ace editor](http://ace.c9.io/) and use this instead of the version that comes embedded with JSONEditor. Only applicable when `mode` is `code`.
Note that when using the minimalist version of JSONEditor (which has Ace excluded), JSONEditor will try to load the Ace plugins `ace/mode/json` and `ace/ext/searchbox`. These plugins must be loaded beforehand or be available in the folder of the Ace editor.
- `{Object} ajv`
Provide a custom instance of [ajv](https://github.com/epoberezkin/ajv), the
library used for JSON schema validation. Example:
```js
var options = {
ajv: Ajv({ allErrors: true, verbose: true })
}
```
- `{function} onChange()`
Set a callback function triggered when the contents of the JSONEditor change.
This callback does not pass the changed contents, use `get()` or `getText()` for that.
Note that `get()` can throw an exception in mode `text` or `code`, when the editor contains invalid JSON.
Will only be triggered on changes made by the user, not in case of programmatic changes via the functions `set`, `setText`, `update`, or `updateText`.
See also callback functions `onChangeJSON(json)` and `onChangeText(jsonString)`.
- `{function} onChangeJSON(json)`
Set a callback function triggered when the contents of the JSONEditor change.
Passes the changed contents as a JSON object.
Only applicable when option `mode` is `tree`, `form`, or `view`.
The callback will only be triggered on changes made by the user, not in case of programmatic changes via the functions `set`, `setText`, `update`, or `updateText`.
See also callback function `onChangeText(jsonString)`.
- `{function} onChangeText(jsonString)`
Set a callback function triggered when the contents of the JSONEditor change.
Passes the changed contents as a stringified JSON object.
The callback will only be triggered on changes made by the user, not in case of programmatic changes via the functions `set`, `setText`, `update`, or `updateText`.
See also callback function `onChangeJSON(json)`.
- `{function} onEditable(node)`
Set a callback function to determine whether individual nodes are editable or read-only. Only applicable when option `mode` is `tree`, `text`, or `code`.
In case of mode `tree`, the callback is invoked as `editable(node)`, where `node` is an object `{field: string, value: string, path: string[]}`. The function must either return a boolean value to set both the nodes field and value editable or read-only, or return an object `{field: boolean, value: boolean}` to set set the read-only attribute for field and value individually.
In modes `text` and `code`, the callback is invoked as `editable(node)` where `node` is an empty object (no field, value, or path). In that case the function can return false to make the text or code editor completely read-only.
- `{function} onError(error)`
Set a callback function triggered when an error occurs. Invoked with the error as first argument. The callback is only invoked
for errors triggered by a users action, like switching from code mode to tree mode or clicking the Format button whilst the editor doesn't contain valid JSON.
- `{function} onModeChange(newMode, oldMode)`
Set a callback function triggered right after the mode is changed by the user. Only applicable when
the mode can be changed by the user (i.e. when option `modes` is set).
- `{function} onValidate(json)`
Set a callback function for custom validation. Available in all modes.
On a change of the JSON, the callback function is invoked with the changed data. The function should return
an array with errors or null if there are no errors. The function can also return a `Promise` resolving with
the errors retrieved via an asynchronous validation (like sending a request to a server for validation).
The returned errors must have the following structure: `{path: Array.<string | number>, message: string}`.
Example:
```js
var options = {
onValidate: function (json) {
var errors = [];
if (json && json.customer && !json.customer.address) {
errors.push({
path: ['customer'],
message: 'Required property "address" missing.'
});
}
return errors;
}
}
```
See also option `schema` for JSON schema validation.
- `{boolean} escapeUnicode`
If true, unicode characters are escaped and displayed as their hexadecimal code (like `\u260E`) instead of of the character itself (like `☎`). False by default.
- `{boolean} sortObjectKeys`
If true, object keys in 'tree', 'view' or 'form' mode list be listed alphabetically instead by their insertion order. Sorting is performed using a natural sort algorithm, which makes it easier to see objects that have string numbers as keys. False by default.
- `{boolean} history`
Enables history, adds a button Undo and Redo to the menu of the JSONEditor. True by default. Only applicable when `mode` is 'tree' or 'form'.
- `{String} mode`
Set the editor mode. Available values: 'tree' (default), 'view', 'form', 'code', 'text'. In 'view' mode, the data and datastructure is read-only. In 'form' mode, only the value can be changed, the datastructure is read-only. Mode 'code' requires the Ace editor to be loaded on the page. Mode 'text' shows the data as plain text.
- `{String[]} modes`
Create a box in the editor menu where the user can switch between the specified modes. Available values: see option `mode`.
- `{String} name`
Initial field name for the root node, is undefined by default. Can also be set using `JSONEditor.setName(name)`. Only applicable when `mode` is 'tree', 'view', or 'form'.
- `{Object} schema`
Validate the JSON object against a JSON schema. A JSON schema describes the
structure that a JSON object must have, like required properties or the type
that a value must have.
See [http://json-schema.org/](http://json-schema.org/) for more information.
See also option `onValidate` for custom validation.
- `{Object} schemaRefs`
Schemas that are referenced using the `$ref` property from the JSON schema that are set in the `schema` option,
the object structure in the form of `{reference_key: schemaObject}`
- `{boolean} search`
Enables a search box in the upper right corner of the JSONEditor. True by default. Only applicable when `mode` is 'tree', 'view', or 'form'.
- `{Number} indentation`
Number of indentation spaces. 2 by default. Only applicable when `mode` is 'code' or 'text'.
- `{String} theme`
Set the Ace editor theme, uses included 'ace/theme/jsoneditor' by default. Please note that only the default theme is included with jsoneditor, so if you specify another one you need to make sure it is loaded.
- `{Object} templates`
Array of templates that will appear in the context menu, Each template is a json object precreated that can be added as a object value to any node in your document.
The following example allow you can create a "Person" node and a "Address" node, each one will appear in your context menu, once you selected the whole json object will be created.
```js
var options = {
templates: [
{
text: 'Person',
title: 'Insert a Person Node',
className: 'jsoneditor-type-object',
field: 'PersonTemplate',
value: {
'firstName': 'John',
'lastName': 'Do',
'age': 28
}
},
{
text: 'Address',
title: 'Insert a Address Node',
field: 'AddressTemplate',
value: {
'street': "",
'city': "",
'state': "",
'ZIP code': ""
}
}
]
}
```

- `{boolean} caseSensitive`
Indicate if the autocomplete is going to be strict case-sensitive to match the options.
- `{Function} getOptions (text: string, path: string[], input: string, editor: JSONEditor)`
This function will return your possible options for create the autocomplete selection, you can control dynamically which options you want to display according to the current active editing node.

- `path` : The path of the node that is being edited as an array with strings.
- `input` : Can be "field" or "value" depending if the user is editing a field name or a value of a node.
- `editor` : The editor instance object that is being edited.
*Returns:*
- Can return an array with autocomplete options (strings), for example `['apple','cranberry','raspberry','pie']`
- Can return `null` when there are no autocomplete options.
- Can return an object `{startFrom: number, options: string[]}`. Here `startFrom` determines the start character from where the existing text will be replaced. `startFrom` is `0` by default, replacing the whole text.
- Can return a `Promise` resolving one of the return types above to support asynchronously retrieving a list with options.
- `{boolean} navigationBar`
Adds navigation bar to the menu - the navigation bar visualize the current position on the tree structure as well as allows breadcrumbs navigation. True by default. Only applicable when `mode` is 'tree', 'form' or 'view'.

* @param {SerializableNode=} end
*/
function onSelectionChange(start, end) {
...
}
```
Only applicable when `mode` is 'tree'.
- `{function} onEvent`
Set a callback function that will be triggered when an event will occur in
a JSON field or value.
In case of field event, node information will be
`{field: string, path: {string|number}[]}`.
In case of value event, node information will be
`{field: string, path: {string|number}[], value: string}`
signature should be:
```js
/**

The callback is invoked with three arguments:
`parent` is an HTML element where the color picker can be attached,
`color` is the current color,
`onChange(newColor)` is a callback which has to be invoked with the new color selected in the color picker.
JSONEditor comes with a built-in color picker, powered by [vanilla-picker](https://github.com/Sphinxxxx/vanilla-picker).
A simple example of `onColorPicker` using `vanilla-picker`:
```js
var options = {
onColorPicker: function (parent, color, onChange) {
new VanillaPicker({
parent: parent,
color: color,
onDone: function (color) {
onChange(color.hex)
}
}).show();
}
}
```

If true (default), a tag with the date/time of a timestamp is displayed
right from timestamps. A value is considered a timestamp when it
has a value larger than Jan 1th 2000, `946684800000`.
- `{string} language`
The default language comes from the browser navigator, but you can force a specific language. So use here string as 'en' or 'pt-BR'. Built-in languages: `en`, `pt-BR`. Other translations can be specified via the option `languages`.
- `{Object} languages`
You can override existing translations or provide a new translation for a specific language. To do it provide an object at languages with language and the keys/values to be inserted. For example:
```
'languages': {
'pt-BR': {
'auto': 'Automático testing'
},
'en': {
'auto': 'Auto testing'
}
}
```
All available fields for translation can be found in the source file `src/js/i18n.js`.
- `{HTMLElement} modalAnchor`
The container element where modals (like for sorting and filtering) are attached: an overlay will be created on top
of this container, and the modal will be created in the center of this container.

### Examples
A tree editor:
```js
var options = {
"mode": "tree",
"search": true
};
var editor = new JSONEditor(container, options);
var json = {
"Array": [1, 2, 3],
"Boolean": true,
"Null": null,
"Number": 123,
"Object": {"a": "b", "c": "d"},
"String": "Hello World"
};
editor.set(json);
editor.expandAll();
var json = editor.get(json);
```
A text editor:
```js
var options = {
"mode": "text",
"indentation": 2
};
var editor = new JSONEditor(container, options);
var json = {
"Array": [1, 2, 3],
"Boolean": true,
"Null": null,
"Number": 123,
"Object": {"a": "b", "c": "d"},
"String": "Hello World"
};
editor.set(json);
var json = editor.get();
```
## JSON parsing and stringification
In general to parse or stringify JSON data, the browsers built in JSON parser can be used. To create a formatted string from a JSON object, use:
```js
var formattedString = JSON.stringify(json, null, 2);
```
to create a compacted string from a JSON object, use:
```js
var compactString = JSON.stringify(json);
```
To parse a String to a JSON object, use:
```js
var json = JSON.parse(string);
```
