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. It can be loaded as CommonJS module, AMD module, or as a regular javascript file.

The library was originally developed as core component of the popular web application https://jsoneditoronline.org and has been open sourced since then.

Supported browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.

Continuous integration tests are run on [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/josdejong/mathjs/actions), and [LambdaTest](https://www.lambdatest.com) is used to test on all major browsers.

Thanks, GitHub Actions and LambdaTest for the generous support for this open source project!

## Successor: svelte-jsoneditor

This library [`jsoneditor`](https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor) has a successor: [`svelte-jsoneditor`](https://github.com/josdejong/svelte-jsoneditor). The new editor is not a one-to-one replacement, so there may be reasons to stick with `jsoneditor`. 
The main differences between the two [are described here](https://github.com/josdejong/svelte-jsoneditor#differences-between-josdejongsvelte-jsoneditor-and-josdejongjsoneditor).
