JSON Editor =========== [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/json-editor/json-editor.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/json-editor/json-editor) Fork of the inactive [jdorn/json-editor](https://github.com/jdorn/json-editor) using the updated fork [json-editor/json-editor](https://github.com/json-editor/json-editor). Some pull requests added from the original repo. ![JSON Schema -> HTML Editor -> JSON](./docs/images/jsoneditor.png) JSON Editor takes a JSON Schema and uses it to generate an HTML form. It has full support for JSON Schema version 3 and 4 and can integrate with several popular CSS frameworks (bootstrap, foundation, and jQueryUI). Check out an interactive demo (demo.html): https://json-editor.github.io/json-editor/ Install ----------------- Install package npm install @json-editor/json-editor Using a CDN For local usage download the [production version](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@json-editor/json-editor/dist/jsoneditor.min.js) or the [development version](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@json-editor/json-editor/dist/jsoneditor.js) Requirements ----------------- JSON Editor has no dependencies.
