Jason Overview

Jason is a fieldtype tailored for displaying JSON data, typically collected from a frontend form.

Using Jason

Jason fields can be set to readonly, allow value-only editing, or allow full editing of data (when editing keys or reordering is necessary).

Values can be accessed in templates like normal, but unless keys are in camelCase, you'll need to use array syntax eg. {{ entry.myJasonField.some.nested["super key"] }}

Jason Roadmap

Some things to do, and ideas for potential features:

• Syntax highlighting while editing raw data
• Editable keys within control panel
