Usage
Install
Install via npm:
npm install jsoneditor
Load
To implement JSONEditor in a web application, load the javascript and css file in the head of the HTML page:
<link href="jsoneditor/dist/jsoneditor.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="jsoneditor/dist/jsoneditor.min.js"></script>
Use
In the body, create a div element with an id and a size:
<div id="jsoneditor" style="width: 400px; height: 400px;"></div>
After the page is loaded, load the editor with javascript:
var container = document.getElementById("jsoneditor");
var options = {
mode: 'tree'
};
var editor = new JSONEditor(container, options);
To set JSON data in the editor:
var json = {
"Array": [1, 2, 3],
"Boolean": true,
"Null": null,
"Number": 123,
"Object": {"a": "b", "c": "d"},
"String": "Hello World"
};
editor.set(json);
To get JSON data from the editor:
var json = editor.get();
