ZEN component to display JSON data

Hello,

is there some kind ZEN component available (e.g. tree or anything), which can display raw JSON string  data nicely on ZEN webpage ?

 

JSON string contains primary nodes, subnodes, arrays.

Hi Bapu,

There is a really simple solution, no Zen required.

Put some pre tags on your web page...

<pre id="json-preview-panel"></pre>

If your JSON is an object then...

document.getElementById("json-preview-panel").innerHTML=JSON.stringify(json, undefined, 2);

Note that the third argument in stringify() is the number of spaces to insert for prettifying.

If your JSON is a string already then you will need to convert it to an object and then back again...

document.getElementById("json-preview-panel").innerHTML=JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(json),undefined,2);

Sean.
