I didn't like it. I was "Blacklisted for abuse" for no reason. Unless you define adding a redundant comma by mistake as abuse. (؟)

You weren't blacklisted. The site owner was blacklisted because use like this is against the github TOS

This isn't actually hosted on github - it's a 3rd party service.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The repo is here: https://github.com/jdorn/json-editor A working demo (although also on rawgit): http://rawgit.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/examples/css_inte...

I recommend using the following link, which should agree with the github TOS: http://cdn.rawgit.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/examples/css_...

Could the article link be changed to that?

I guess rawgit should change its strategy: they instruct people to not link to rawgit.com but to cdn.rawgit.com when you expect heavy traffic. The thing is that you have to read their instructions, which is probably not what you see when you receive a link to them. So you share that very same link, and if you share it on HN it crosses their threshold. Maybe they could use a redirect to their cdn URLs when such thresh…

Well that left a bad impression on me.

I'm not sure i like this service anymore if this is their response to high traffic loads.

Agreed, I had to refer to the comments here to find a working link. Their message was not helpful.

I'd like something like this for XML.

I've seen attempts at it before. It gets pretty complicated, because of attribute/content split. You're basically choosing between something so generic and complicated it's hardly any better than a validating text editor with autocomplete, or something so cut down that it is by default specialized to its use case, in which case it is basically just a specialized editor of some sort that happens to serialize to XML, which is common, and no longer is a "general XML editor".

URL debacle aside, I think this seems like a pretty good tool. My only qualm is that it seems a bit busy. In my mind, a good json editor will make it easier to edit the data, but here I had to scroll more and click more.
