If your game has Json data in it then you need the Json Editor to help you manage it. Creating, editing and saving json is a breeze with this tool. Literally anyone on your team can use it!
I like Json Editor, but there are three very frustrating lack of features when using it.
No copy/paste. I have to go into a text editor to copy/paste objects or values. This defeats the purpose of using Json editor.
You cant drag & drop json files onto the editor tab to open them. It is a PITA to open an already saved file. Very frustrating. A good editor would automatically display the file whenever you clicked it in the project with the JsonEditor tab open/active. Or on dbl click.
The File directory window always points to your root project directory, rather than your last used folder. Very annoying to have to click a million folders to save as or create new, when you store all your json files in the same folder/area. Not the biggest issue, but an annoying one.
And one feature request, which isnt necessary but would really make Json Editor awesome.
The ability to choose a custom icon for a value. For example, if I could swap out the dice icon for integers, for a custom icon based on what I want to see, that would be great. Rainbow Folders and Visual Item Database are great like this. This makes the editor very valuable, as you assign visual identifiers to values. It makes it easier for non-programmers too. “Oh, the attack integer is the sword icon. The defense integer is the shield icon. Thx JSON Editor!”
