greglearns/elm-json-tree-view

A library for Elm that shows JSON data as an expandable HTML tree

Elm JSON Tree View

This library provides a JSON tree view. You feed it JSON, and it transforms it into interactive HTML.

Try the online demo (source)

Features:

• show JSON as a tree of HTML
• expand/collapse nodes in the tree
• expand/collapse the entire tree
• select scalar values in the tree

History

I originally published this as Microsoft/elm-json-tree-view, but in May 2019 Microsoft changed their GitHub organization name which broke elm package. Rather than waiting for a fix in the Elm package repository, I have decided to move all work over to my personal GitHub account and re-publish.

Usage

See the docs or look at the example app's source code.

But if you really insist on something super simple, here goes:

import JsonTree
import Html exposing (text)

main =
    JsonTree.parseString """[1,2,3]"""
        |> Result.map (\tree -> JsonTree.view tree config JsonTree.defaultState)
        |> Result.withDefault (text "Failed to parse JSON")

config = { onSelect = Nothing, toMsg = always (), colors = JsonTree.defaultColors }

Note that the above example is only meant to give you a taste. It does not wire everything up, which means that some things will be broken (i.e. expand/collapse). See the docs and the example app for more details.

UI based on Gildas Lormeau's JSONView Chrome extension.
