The JSON Editor App makes it easier to create, edit, and manage JSON data directly in Stackby. It provides syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, collapsible groups, and error warnings to help you identify and fix invalid JSON.
Open your Stackby workspace and select a Stack.
Navigate to the Apps section.
Search for JSON Editor.
Click Add to install the app.
Select a cell from a Single Line Text or Long Text column in Grid View.
The selected cell's JSON content will appear in the editor.
No additional configuration is required.
JSON is a popular text format to store information that is both structured and lightweight. Because JSON is just text, you can keep it in a single line or long text field. The JSON editor extension makes it easier to work with JSON by formatting the contents of the field with colored syntax, indenting, and warnings for malformed JSON.
Once installed, you will be prompted to select a cell in your grid view (single line text or long text field). No additional configuration is needed.
Once you select a supported cell, you can start typing or editing JSON directly in the editor.
The JSON Editor provides the following features:
Syntax Highlighting: Displays JSON keys and values in different colours, making the data easier to read.
Indentation and Formatting: Automatically organizes JSON content with proper spacing and indentation.
Collapsible Groups: Allows you to expand or collapse nested objects and arrays for easier navigation.
JSON Validation: Highlights invalid JSON syntax and displays warnings to help identify errors.
