JSON viewer

[hmeerlo]

It would be really nice to have an inline JSON viewer in Medis so that we can collapse parts of the documents. We have very large JSON objects in Redis and currently I have to copy and paste the values to a JSON viewer to be able to look through the data efficiently.

Hey @hmeerlo 👋

Thanks for using Medis! The request makes sense. What JSON viewer are you using if I may ask?

[hmeerlo]

currently I'm using a website jsonformatter.org. But any inline editor that can collapse branches would be good for me. And while we're at it, a JSON path inputfield at the bottom that can filter the data would be really awesome :-)

Aha a JSON path filter is a bit easier to implement so I'd probably go with it first. To be sure, you are storing JSON data in a string key right?

[hmeerlo]

Ok, I would expect the viewer to be easier since you're using React. This appears to be a one-liner: https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-json-view

@hmeerlo New features are going to be added to Medis 2 (https://getmedis.com/) which is developed in Swift but thanks for the reference!
