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 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 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
