What is react-json-tree?
The react-json-tree package is a React component for efficiently rendering a JSON tree structure. It is useful for displaying JSON data in a hierarchical format, making it easier to navigate and understand complex JSON objects.
What are react-json-tree's main functionalities?
Basic JSON Tree Rendering
This feature allows you to render a basic JSON tree structure. The JSONTree component takes a JSON object as a prop and displays it in a hierarchical format.
import React from 'react';
import JSONTree from 'react-json-tree';
const data = {
name: 'John',
age: 30,
city: 'New York'
};
const App = () => (
<div>
<h1>JSON Tree</h1>
<JSONTree data={data} />
</div>
);
export default App;
Custom Theme
This feature allows you to apply a custom theme to the JSON tree. You can define a theme object and pass it as a prop to the JSONTree component to customize the appearance of the tree.
import React from 'react';
import JSONTree from 'react-json-tree';
const data = {
name: 'John',
age: 30,
city: 'New York'
};
const theme = {
scheme: 'monokai',
author: 'wimer hazenberg (http://www.monokai.nl)',
base00: '#272822',
base01: '#383830',
base02: '#49483e',
base03: '#75715e',
base04: '#a59f85',
base05: '#f8f8f2',
base06: '#f5f4f1',
base07: '#f9f8f5',
base08: '#f92672',
base09: '#fd971f',
base0A: '#f4bf75',
base0B: '#a6e22e',
base0C: '#a1efe4',
base0D: '#66d9ef',
base0E: '#ae81ff',
base0F: '#cc6633'
};
const App = () => (
<div>
<h1>JSON Tree with Custom Theme</h1>
<JSONTree data={data} theme={theme} />
</div>
);
export default App;
Collapsible Nodes
This feature allows you to make the nodes of the JSON tree collapsible. By default, all nodes are expanded, but you can control the expansion state by using the shouldExpandNode prop.
import React from 'react';
import JSONTree from 'react-json-tree';
const data = {
name: 'John',
age: 30,
address: {
city: 'New York',
zip: '10001'
}
};
const App = () => (
<div>
<h1>Collapsible JSON Tree</h1>
<JSONTree data={data} shouldExpandNode={() => false} />
</div>
);
export default App;
Other packages similar to react-json-tree
react-json-view
react-json-view is a React component for displaying and editing JSON data. It provides a more interactive experience compared to react-json-tree, allowing users to edit JSON values directly within the tree structure. It also supports features like collapsing/expanding nodes, searching, and custom themes.
jsoneditor-react
jsoneditor-react is a wrapper around the JSONEditor library for use in React applications. It offers a rich set of features for viewing, editing, and manipulating JSON data, including a tree view, code view, and text view. It is more feature-rich compared to react-json-tree, providing advanced functionalities like schema validation and history management.
react-json-inspector
react-json-inspector is a React component for inspecting JSON data. It provides a simple and efficient way to navigate through large JSON objects. Unlike react-json-tree, it focuses more on search and filtering capabilities, making it easier to find specific data within a large JSON structure.
react-json-tree
React JSON Viewer Component, Extracted from redux-devtools. Supports iterable objects, such as Immutable.js.
Usage
import JSONTree from 'react-json-tree'
import { Map } from 'immutable'
const json = {
array: [1, 2, 3],
bool: true,
object: {
foo: 'bar'
}
immutable: Map({ key: 'value' })
}
<JSONTree data={ json } />

Theming
You can pass a theme
prop containing base16 theme data to change the theme. The example theme data can be found here.
(The theme data is also used by redux-devtools, and extracting it to a separate npm package is a TODO).
