This plugin is a Highspeed JSON editor - designed to handle bigger files very fast. Especially files were JSON is in one line, which is normally a problem in eclipse: It often freezes /slows down eclipse in other editors when files become a little bit bigger. Please read Wiki#why-another-json-editor-plugin for more details. The first screenshot shows a file having 15MB content. On my developer machine it loads in less than 5 seconds.
Features:
- Can open bigger JSON files very fast, no matter if one line or pretty printed
- Fast syntax highlighting, customizable colors, defaults for dark theme
- One liners will be automatically converted to mulitple lines (this increases eclipse rendering mechanism extreme). The editor is marked as dirty and a information is shown in IDE bottom line when editor is active
- Outline is
- turned on per default
(can be disabled in outline view or globally in perferences if there is no need for it) - splitting big arrays in array groups - so rendering in outline is faster, via indexes shown in outline a search can be also easier

Submitted by Albert Tregnaghi on Thu, 02/25/2021 - 17:55
Because of bintray sundown - see https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter there was a need to change the update site.
The new location starting with version 1.0.0 is now https://de-jcup.github.io/update-site-eclipse-hijson-editor/update-site/
When you are using eclipse marketplace for installation the new update location will be automatically applied.
