## Use
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>
|
|
<link href="jsoneditor/dist/jsoneditor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
|

<div id="jsoneditor" style="width: 400px; height: 400px;"></div>
|
|
|
|
<script>
|
|
// create the editor
|
|
var container = document.getElementById("jsoneditor");
|
|
var editor = new JSONEditor(container);
|
|
|
|
// 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 root of the project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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](http://browserify.org/) or [webpack](http://webpack.github.io/). 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](https://github.com/mishoo/UglifyJS2):
|
|
|
|
uglifyjs ./jsoneditor.custom.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.min.js -m -c
|
