Features

npm install @pardnchiu/nanojson · Documentation

• Zero-dependency visual editing — A tree-based JSON editor built with pure JavaScript and native DOM APIs, no frontend framework required.
• Per-node dynamic type switching — Every node can switch live between string / number / boolean / object / array / null and re-render instantly.
• Full lifecycle hooks — Six hooks (beforeRender / rendered / beforeUpdate / updated / beforeDestroy / destroyed) with a 300ms debounce on updates.
• Flexible data import/export — Accepts a JavaScript object, a File object, or a URL string as the data source, plus one-click download of the current JSON.
