...properties of svelte-jsoneditor

parsed JSON vs. stringified JSON

  • parsed JSON: what we commonly refer to as JSON, which can be of any data type.
  • stringified JSON: serialized JSON, which is always a string type.

Binding value difference between svelte-jsoneditor and json-editor-vue

  • svelte-jsoneditor: An object contains a parsed JSON or a stringified JSON, will do JSON.parse when passing as a stringified JSON.
  • json-editor-vue: JSON itself. What you see is what you get.

If you prefer the behavior of svelte-jsoneditor:

<JsonEditorVue
  :content="content"
  :onChange="(updatedContent) => {
    content = updatedContent
  }"
/>

The association between binding value and modes

[!Important]

The input value is independent of modes, except:

Input value of string type will be treated as a normal string under tree mode, as a stringified JSON under text mode by default.

The output value of tree mode is a parsed JSON, the output value of text mode is a stringified JSON.

But this correspondence can be disrupted by programmatic changes or mode switching.

See https://github.com/josdejong/svelte-jsoneditor/pull/166 for more details.

FAQ: How to keep the value as parsed JSON in text mode:

[!Caution]

  • Not performant for large JSON documents.
  • Adjust the debounce value based on the size of your JSON.
  • Will output empty value when the input value is invalid.
<script setup>
import { Mode } from 'vanilla-jsoneditor'
</script>

<template>
  <JsonEditorVue :mode="Mode.text" :stringified="false" :debounce="1000" />
</template>

Naming convention

Support camelCase and kebab-case for tag & property name.

[!Tip]

When using json-editor-vue or any Vue component via CDN (HTML), kebab-case must be used exclusively due to HTML's case insensitivity.

Boolean properties

Including the boolean properties of svelte-jsoneditor like readOnly with no value will imply true:

  • <JsonEditorVue readOnly />

  • <JsonEditorVue :readOnly="true" />
