JSON-Splora is a GUI for editing, visualizing, and manipulating JSON data with jq or JavaScript.
Design
- Built with Electron
- Editor and output both use CodeMirror
- Input is parsed as json5
- Filter with jq or JavaScript
The editor is a JavaScript editor, and the input is parsed as json5. This allows for comments as well as a relaxed JSON input format. Once the editor has valid JSON, an input window will appear below, allowing you to manipulate the object with JavaScript or jq. A panel will appear to the right with the output, and updates live as the input or filter changes.
Input
- URLs resolve to any JSON they return
- Drag-and-drop or open any file
- Plain text input
Filters
- First evaluated as JavaScript with
output = x${filter} - If JS fails, it attempts to use jq
Command Line
jsplora [file]
Install
Requires at least Node version 6.
Globally (cli)
This will create the application as well as the alias jsplora.
npm i -g json-splora
Locally
Building locally creates a directory JSON-Splora-<system> which contains the application.
npm install
# build for darwin, linux, win32
npm run-script build-darwin
npm run-script build-linux
npm run-script build-win32
Name Change
JSON-Splora is becoming json-splora in npm. This is because of a bug in npm's backend confusing the two packages. I am forced to release 1.0.0, deprecate "JSON-Splora", and move to "json-splora". I apologize for any inconvenience.
