The JSON path parsing code assumes that string keys within square brackets in JSON paths will be valid, parseable JSON. However, the ajv library on which this project depends emits string keys in single quotes. For example, ajv can emit .foo['bar'], which will ultimately end up with a call to JSON.parse("'bar'"). This causes the "Unexpected token ' in JSON at position 0" error thrown from JSON.parse. Since ajv shouldn't need to change and since this utility is gone in the next branch, this fix checks for ajv-formatted string keys and patches them to double-quoted strings before calling JSON.parse. This is the narrowest fix for the problem. |

JSON Editor
JSON Editor is a web-based tool to view, edit, format, and validate JSON. It has various modes such as a tree editor, a code editor, and a plain text editor.
The editor can be used as a component in your own web application. The library can be loaded as CommonJS module, AMD module, or as a regular javascript file.
Supported browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer 9+.
Features

- Change type of values.
- Sort arrays and objects.
- Colorized code.
- Search & highlight text in the tree view.
- Undo and redo all actions.
- JSON schema validation (powered by ajv).
Code editor
- Colorized code (powered by Ace).
- Inspect JSON (powered by Ace).
- Format and compact JSON.

Documentation
Install
with npm (recommended):
npm install jsoneditor
with bower:
bower install jsoneditor
More
There is a directive available for using JSONEditor in Angular.js:
https://github.com/angular-tools/ng-jsoneditor
Use
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<!-- when using the mode "code", it's important to specify charset utf-8 -->
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
<link href="jsoneditor/dist/jsoneditor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="jsoneditor/dist/jsoneditor.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="jsoneditor" style="width: 400px; height: 400px;"></div>
<script>
// create the editor
var container = document.getElementById("jsoneditor");
var options = {};
var editor = new JSONEditor(container, options);
// set json
var json = {
"Array": [1, 2, 3],
"Boolean": true,
"Null": null,
"Number": 123,
"Object": {"a": "b", "c": "d"},
"String": "Hello World"
};
editor.set(json);
// get json
var json = editor.get();
</script>
</body>
</html>
Build
The code of the JSON Editor is located in the folder ./src
. To build
jsoneditor:
-
Install dependencies:
npm install
-
Build JSON Editor:
npm run build
This will generate the files
./jsoneditor.js
,./jsoneditor.css
, and
minified versions in the dist of the project. -
To automatically build when a source file has changed:
npm run watch
This will update
./jsoneditor.js
and./jsoneditor.css
in the dist folder on every change, but it will NOT update the minified versions as that's an expensive operation.
Custom builds
The source code of JSONEditor consists of CommonJS modules. JSONEditor can be bundled in a customized way using a module bundler like browserify or webpack. First, install all dependencies of jsoneditor:
npm install
To create a custom bundle of the source code using browserify:
browserify ./index.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.js -s JSONEditor
The Ace editor, used in mode code
, accounts for about 75% of the total
size of the library. To exclude the Ace editor from the bundle:
browserify ./index.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.js -s JSONEditor -x brace -x brace/mode/json -x brace/ext/searchbox
To minify the generated bundle, use uglifyjs:
uglifyjs ./jsoneditor.custom.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.min.js -m -c
