replace JSON tree editor

[BigBlueHat]

Deleting items in the current one is too easy, browsing it is a bit cumbersome, and keys aren't editable.

Ideally, this area would be "pluggable" with various editor options.

This https://github.com/wjosdejong/jsoneditoronline http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/ would rock. ALv2 also, recently updated too.

Very nice find, @dch! I've actually got a "horse in the game": http://github.com/bigbluehat/reformed http://bigbluehat.github.com/reformed

I'm in the process of hooking it up to clarinet.js (see the clarinet branch), so that it can handle streaming out the HTML as the JSON is streamed in. In theory that will allow it to support very large JSON documents...fwiw.

As mentioned, though, my real hope is that this part be "plug-able" so users/devs can pick the one they want or at least the selection of the JSON editor won't be strictly tied to Futon itself and could be replace by the user/dev later (if they wanted).

Aaah I was wondering if there would be a way to hook that in - nice!

Here is a quick implementation of the json editor for the documents view https://github.com/garrensmith/futon2/tree/json_editor

I just need to add the revisions section so that you could view previous revisions, but so far I think it works pretty well. Might be a good starting point for now and later make this section pluggable.
