What I’m hungry for is not so much this coherent application for exploring json data but rather a set of React components to integrate explorations like this into a web app. Does anybody know of any good components or libraries for that?

Perhaps (although unlikely) this thing I created 5 years ago helps, it's a react component created to be embedded in a go app but is independent, created just to scratch my own itch and not published to npm but anyone can just vendor it: https://github.com/egeozcan/json-tail/tree/master/data also has storybook but no online demo I'm sorry :( edit: ha, I also found the plain js/css/html version there, a surprise from…

the exact table display component is here: https://github.com/egeozcan/json-tail/tree/master/data/src/a...

I have a UX complaint about the carousel images on https://json4u.com/ While I was looking at the image and trying to understand, the carousel moved to the next image. It's too fast, and I can't get back to the first image without it immediately switching me to the second image. I can't get it to sit still either and NOT switch to the next image. Some carousels pause themselves when the cursor is hovering over it, bu…

Thank you very much for your suggestions! I will optimize its experience. By the way, have you seen the two switch buttons on either side of the carousel? I'm thinking about whether I need to adjust its background color to make it more noticeable.

i am using https://jsonhero.io/ for a time and happy with it. but i will definitely check this out too.

It's a great tool, its column view is very popular, which has inspired me to think about how to support visualization features. By the way, what is your favorite feature of it, or which function do you think is the most useful?

Looks interesting! Reminds me of XMLSpy JSON Grid view - https://www.altova.com/images/json-editor-grid.png Any plans to make an editor on top of this?

I didn't know about it when I was making mine, otherwise, I would have definitely borrowed some ideas from it, haha. I have considered view-based editing functions, and I'm wondering if it's really necessary (if so, it will be supported), because now it's quite convenient to locate the editing position on the left from the right view using JSON pointers for quick editing. I'm thinking that providing editing functions in a professional editor might be more appropriate. And thank your for your suggestions.

nice tool, i created a tool for viewing csv and i tested with my goto csv file and it crashed :-) . you might want to use paging for tables or use virtualization for table view.

Yes, I've thought about it, but I haven't come up with a good implementation approach. Do you have any good ideas? Here's the problem I'm facing:

I want the table view to support not just regular array but also complex object structures (like nested structures). The latter results in an irregular structure of tables within tables, and I currently don't have a good approach to implement this using a virtual list.

i've been using visidata for visualizing json and csv in table views, querying it, plotting it, etc. the node-link graph in here is something i wish visidata could do

You can try my website, I guarantee you'll be satisfied, haha.
