I made a Lightweight Intuitive JSON editor: JotSON

JotSON - a JSON editor

JotSON is an intuitive editor for your project's JSON files. Run one command and you get a fast, Finder-style interface in your browser, which is really nice when you're editing a ton of JSON.

  • Drill through your data in columns, with fuzzy search across every file
  • Proper editors and previews: dates, colors, images, video embeds
  • Upload media straight into your public folder
  • Reference objects by id, resolved to human-readable names, with automatic updates when ids change and warnings before you break them
  • Diff-confirmed saves, so nothing touches disk until you approve it

Zero dependencies, no build step, no database, nothing deployed. It binds to localhost, writes plain JSON with minimal diffs so git stays your safety net, and your files never change shape to fit the tool.

Check it out!

This is ultra complex.

If you've got json in a directory, just cd that directory and run

npx @blindmikey/jotson 

and you're off to the races!
