JSON Editor Online is a web-based tool to view, edit, and format JSON. It has various modes such as a tree editor, a code editor, and a plain text editor.
The editor can be used as a component in your own web application. The library can be loaded as CommonJS module, AMD module, or as a regular javascript file.
The web application shows two panels side by side: a code editor on the left, and a tree editor on the right. Files and urls can be loaded via the main menu.

- Search & highlight text in the treeview.
