❗️❗️❗️ Important

If you want use v-model (not v-model:json or v-model:text) then the type of data depends on the mode of the editor. If mode="tree", then the data type in the model is JSON value, if mode="text", then the data type is JSON string. Please be aware that in text mode v-model can contain invalid JSON: whilst typing in text mode, a JSON document will be temporarily invalid, like when the user is typing a new string.

It is more clear to use v-model:json for tree mode and v-model:text for text mode.

☑️ Slots

Slot	Description
default	Slot content displayed before the editor is rendered. Useful for SSR

☑️ Props

Name	Description	type	default
json (v-model)	JSON value	object | array | true | false | null | number | string	undefined
text (v-model)	JSON string	string	undefined
modelValue (v-model)	JSON value or JSON string	object | array | true | false | null | number | string	undefined
value	Same as modelValue	object | array | true | false | null | number | string	undefined
selection (v-model)	The current selected contents. You can use two-way binding using bind:selection. The tree mode supports MultiSelection, KeySelection, ValueSelection, InsideSelection, or AfterSelection. The table mode supports ValueSelection, and text mode supports TextSelection.	JSONEditorSelection | null	null
mode	mode: 'tree', 'text' or 'table'. Open the editor in 'tree' mode (default), 'table' mode, or 'text' mode	string	'tree'
mainMenuBar	Show the main menu bar. Default value is true.	boolean	true
navigationBar	Show the navigation bar with, where you can see the selected path and navigate through your document from there.	boolean	true
statusBar	Show a status bar at the bottom of the 'text' editor, showing information about the cursor location and selected contents.	boolean	true
askToFormat	When true (default), the user will be asked whether he/she wants to format the JSON document when a compact document is loaded or pasted in 'text' mode. Only applicable to 'text' mode.	boolean	true
readOnly	Open the editor in read-only mode: no changes can be made, non-relevant buttons are hidden from the menu, and the context menu is not enabled.	boolean	false
indentation	Number of spaces use for indentation when stringifying JSON, or a string to be used as indentation like '\t' to use a tab as indentation, or ' ' to use 4 spaces (which is equivalent to configuring indentation: 4). See also property tabSize.	number | string	4
tabSize	When indentation is configured as a tab character (indentation: '\t'), tabSize configures how large a tab character is rendered. Default value is 4. Only applicable to text mode.	number	4
escapeControlCharacters	When true, control characters like newline and tab are rendered as escaped characters \n and \t. Only applicable for 'tree' mode, in 'text' mode control characters are always escaped.	boolean	false
escapeUnicodeCharacters	When true, unicode characters like ☎ and 😀 are rendered escaped like \u260e and \ud83d\ude00	boolean	false
flattenColumns	Only applicable to 'table' mode. When true, nested object properties will be displayed each in their own column, with the nested path as column name. When false, nested objects will be rendered inline, and double-clicking them will open them in a popup.	boolean	true
validator	Validate the JSON document. Details in svelte-jsoneditor	function (json: unknown): ValidationError[]
parser	Configure a custom JSON parser, like lossless-json. By default, the native JSON parser of JavaScript is used. The JSON interface is an object with a parse and stringify function	JSONParser	undefined
validationParser	Only applicable when a validator is provided. This is the same as parser, except that this parser is used to parse the data before sending it to the validator. Configure a custom JSON parser that is used to parse JSON before passing it to the validator. By default, the built-in JSON parser is used. When passing a custom validationParser, make sure the output of the parser is supported by the configured validator.	JSONParser	undefined
pathParser	An optional object with a parse and stringify method to parse and stringify a JSONPath, which is an array with property names. The pathParser is used in the path editor in the navigation bar, which is opened by clicking the edit button on the right side of the navigation bar. The pathParser.parse function is allowed to throw an Error when the input is invalid. By default, a JSON Path notation is used, which looks like $.data[2].nested.property.	JSONPathParser	undefined
queryLanguagesIds	Configure one or multiple query language that can be used in the Transform modal. The library comes with three languages: javascript, lodash or jmespath	QueryLanguage[]	[javascript]
queryLanguageId	The id of the currently selected query language javascript, lodash or jmespath	string
onClassName	Add a custom class name to specific nodes, based on their path and/or value.	function (path: Path, value: any): string | undefined
onRenderValue	Details in svelte-jsoneditor	function (props: RenderValueProps) : RenderValueComponentDescription[]
onRenderMenu	Details in svelte-jsoneditor	function (items: MenuItem[], context: { mode: 'tree' | 'text' | 'table', modal: boolean }) : MenuItem[] | undefined
fullWidthButton	Whether full screen switching is added	boolean	true
height	Default height	string | number	undefined
darkTheme	Switch to dark theme	boolean	false

☑️ Events

Name	Description	Arguments
change	Which is invoked on every change made in the JSON document. The parameter patchResult is only available in tree mode, and not in text mode, since a change in arbitrary text cannot be expressed as a JSON Patch document.	(content: Content, previousContent: Content, patchResult: JSONPatchResult | null)
error	Event fired when an error occurs. Default implementation is to log an error in the console and show a simple alert message to the user.	(err: Error)
change-mode	Invoked when the mode is changed.	(mode: 'tree' | 'text' | 'table')
change-query-language	Invoked when the user changes the selected query language in the TransformModal via the configuration button top right.	(queryLanguageId: string)
focus	Fired when the editor got focus.	()
blur	Fired when the editor lost focus.	()

☑️ Use expose functions

• $collapseAll - collapse all nodes
• $expandAll - expand all nodes
• $expand - Expand or collapse paths in the editor. See more about expand()
• $get - Get the current JSON document. See more about get()
• $set - Replace the current content. Will reset the state of the editor. See also method update(). See more about set()
• $update - Update the loaded content, keeping the state of the editor (like expanded objects). See more about update()
• $updateProps - Update some or all of the properties See more about updateProps()
• $refresh - Refresh rendering of the contents, for example after changing the font size. This is only available in text mode. See more about refresh()
• $focus - Give the editor focus. See more about focus()
• $destroy - Destroy the editor, remove it from the DOM. See more about destroy()
• $patch - Apply a JSON patch document to update the contents of the JSON document. See more about patch()
• $transform - Programmatically trigger clicking of the transform button in the main menu, opening the transform model. See more about transform()
• $scrollTo - Scroll the editor vertically such that the specified path comes into view. Only applicable to modes tree and table. The path will be expanded when needed. The returned Promise is resolved after scrolling is finished. See more about scrollTo()
• $findElement - Find the DOM element of a given path. Returns null when not found. See more about findElement()
• $acceptAutoRepair - In tree mode, invalid JSON is automatically repaired when loaded. See more about acceptAutoRepair()
• $validate - Get all current parse errors and validation errors. See more about validate()
