JSON Editor Plugin

I've tried a bit but uninstalled it:

- When you open a JSON file, each time you need to press Ctrl+Shift+F to have the JSON formatting

- A bit slow to open for my taste.

I've installed HiJSON and for the moment it suits my needs better (only still testing it)

I'm trying to edit a json file containing values that use japanese alphabet but in the view it shows the wrong characters, it's not using the right encoding. Screenshot: files.catbox.moe/a8ztcu.png

Is there any way to fix it or have to wait for an update? while I'm at it I'd like to make a feature request, is it possible to add a "Design" view in the future? like the XML Editor plugin, so I don't accidently edit out a parenthesis or other json delimeters.

Hi,

i know that json is not intended to support comments, but parser like jackson do support this.

sometimes it is really very handy to have some comments in json-files.

is there any change of getting comment-support (there is already color-support for comments ;-) for the plugin?

How would you use this in eclipse?

Does it replace other editors?

Are there specific key board shortcuts for navigation, editing, creation etc?

Hello and greetings! Thanks for this nice plugin! Would it be possible to include a "disable code folding" option in the preferences of the editor in some future release?

I have installed this and tried it with 2019-09 and had no success getting the internal editor to show up. This plugin seems to be broken, unless I'm doing something incorrectly,

I love this plugin  and also suggests to use jsonformatter.org/json-editor if you just want to use online.

Outline mine is a bit useless when you can't click a segment and relate it to the actual file, or even edit inside outline mode. Not sure why it's there other than looks pretty. End up having to CTRL-F to find the place in the file, and the menu for view options is completely lacking anything. 

Freezes Eclipse for a couple of seconds every time you try to close the Eclipse Preferences pane.
I've switched to Json Tools which seems better.

There seems to be a major bug with the formatter when handling nested data structure like this:

{"foo":[{"this":"that"}]}

After formatting (ctrl + shift + F), it looked like this:

{
    "foo": {
        "this": "that"
    }
}

This is completely wrong because the dictionary "foo" is now having another dictionary within instead of a list. I observed this issue with whichever the version that came with Eclipse Neon.1a Release (4.6.1).

Very nice plugin, except the irritating automatic block selection after field edit. It is incredibly frustrating, and basically renders the whole plugin unusable. Is it possible to turn this "feature" off?

Decent plugin. It does basic json formatting and syntax highlighting, however it has one "feature" which renders it un-usable. It will randomly, seemingly without a pattern highlight entire blocks of json. So if you're typing this means that the entire block is replaced. Not an acceptable thing for a code editor to do!

When using Dark Theme in Eclipse Neon there is a problem with some of the texts not been readables.

The blue hard to read, and the black, not the best option neither. I couldnt find any way to fix that in Eclipse itself.

i am using eclipse neon with this plugin and it works perfectly. I know, Eclipse neon has a JSON editor but it is very very basic, it does not sync with the Outline in huge JSON files. Thanks guys!

I would like to incorporate this plugin into my own plugin which is open source. Does this plugin have APIs for that?

I just downloaded this editor, and can already tell it will help a great deal. However, I'm running into a fairly substantial usability problem. Whenever I'm typing, and pause for even a short amount of time (< 1 sec), the editor will select either the line I'm typing on, or the entire JSON object. Then, when I resume typing, it of course replaces the entire contents of the selection. Constantly finding myself executing an undo, and placing the cursor back at the position where I paused typing.

Is there any way to disable this autoselection?

Here's my env:

Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)
Build id: 20160218-0600

Mac OS X Version 10.11.5

Java 1.8.0_92

This plugin is so good, thank you very much for your excellent work!
But I have a little problem, when the size of JSON file getting bigger, it is so difficult to type contents to the file, it will be stuck for validation work, is it possible to add an optional validation feature? or a switch to turn off the validation. Thank you.

Every time I type JSON it freezes the complete editor for ~10 seconds (or never returns from freezing state). Maybe stuck with validation?! I had to uninstall it :(

In this JSON Editor Plugin, the following things are not good:

* Pressing Ctrl+Shift+F doesn’t format the JSON data
* Editing text is very slow, even for JSON data that is only 23kB in size
* The outline view shows “Error” when the JSON is well-formed

In STS i create a file name test.json but when i am trying to save it raising exception like "Save Failed
java.lang.NullPointerException". what i supposed to do??

I'm using it on Eclipse Standard Keppler R2.
No matter what content I try to validate, it spams an OK message.
Does it happens only to me?

I am using Ubuntu 13.04 (Kernel 3.5.44) Unfortunately, this plug in starts acting up and does not allow the json file to be saved with a NullPointerException (no further info provided by Eclipse). It hampered my delivery efforts.

Be very careful, if you are using Ubuntu. I was able to isolate the problem as it was only json files that were showing "dirty flag" with an asterisk where it shows the file name in a tab above.

I'm using Win 8.1.

Full message:
Unable to open external editor D:\eclipse\plugins\jsonedit-core_0.9.6.jar

Using Version: Kepler Release Build id: 20130614-0229 on Windows 7 64 bit

Was worried about trying the plugin given the earlier feedback.

However, after installing it, it works and didn't give any issues.

Good Job

Flags scientific notation as error.

In my system, with

Win XP SP3

Java JDK 1.6

Eclipse Helios 3.6

the JSON editor plugin 0.9.4 led to instability that crashed Eclipse often. I wasn't easily able to diagnose it, but this has been a less stable version of Eclipse all around than my last one.

This plugin is completey flawed!
I tried it on Eclipse 3.4.2 and after a few seconds eclipse's windows went white, all the menus disappeared and I couldn't even close it down.
Don't use it!
