Have you considered table editing use case?

Hi!

Perhaps I just missed this feature trying to find it in your docs/examples.

Editing of spreadsheet-like JSON data could be a great use of jsoneditor!

Is this already possible today?

Would you consider it for the future?

Some (read-only display) ideas may be had at following resources.

(I also opened marianoguerra/json.human.js#15, then I found your issue entry there, so I came here because I like your integration with jsonlint very much)

See
https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/tips-and-tricks#console-table

and the original
http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/Console_API#console.table.28data.5B.2C_columns.5D.29

nice idea!

Can be very powerful when implemented right, but it is a bit tricky. A lot of edge cases, and making everything editable can be an interesting challenge. One question is how to specify whether some array can be displayed as a table or not. Few options that come to mind:

• Show an array as a regular tree by default, and add an option (in the actions menu?) to switch the view of an array from tree to table.
• When JSON Schema is implemented (see Support for JSON Schema #13, Feature request : JSON-schema (bidirectional) #56), it may be very easy to add meta information on whether to display an array as table or as tree.

Maybe we could implement this as another mode for the JSONEditor, which only supports A JSON document containing an array with flat objects, to keep things simple.

Rethinking this, I think it's a bit out of scope. I will close this issue now.

This feature request is opened again and continued in #402.
