Build

The code of the JSON Editor is located in the folder ./src. To build jsoneditor:

  • Install dependencies:

    npm install
    
  • Build JSON Editor:

    npm run build
    

    This will generate the files ./jsoneditor.js, ./jsoneditor.css, and
    minified versions in the root of the project.

Custom builds

The source code of JSONEditor consists of CommonJS modules. JSONEditor can be bundled in a customized way using a module bundler like browserify or webpack. First, install all dependencies of jsoneditor:

npm install

To create a custom bundle of the source code using browserify:

browserify ./index.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.js -s JSONEditor

The Ace editor, used in mode code, accounts for about 75% of the total size of the library. To exclude the Ace editor from the bundle:

browserify ./index.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.js -s JSONEditor -x brace -x brace/mode/json -x brace/ext/searchbox

To minify the generated bundle, use uglifyjs:

uglifyjs ./jsoneditor.custom.js -o ./jsoneditor.custom.min.js -m -c
