This is a fork of Chris Penner's application by Tanner Legvold. The only change is to lines 372 through 388 (approximately) for the purpose of making the navigation keybindings use the arrow keys instead of the vim keys. See https://github.com/tannerlegvold/jet/commit/b838181dda379e116c14f305c8af2c9afe652a83#diff-a82a3273851155e728dc685a1a3bcf3ba26d3d56a6cf502388ea9eb8a9a0eb39.
To use:
git clone https://github.com/tannerlegvold/jet.git
cd jet
stack build --copy-bins # this takes a while the first time
for me at least, the executable is now in ~/.local/bin
Jet is a structural editor for JSON.
I.e. an editor which is aware of the structure of JSON and allows you to manipulate it directly. The document is always in a valid state.

- Structurally sound editing, never outputs invalid JSON.
- Copy/Cut/Paste JSON subtrees
- Subtree folding so you can focus on what's important.
- Transpose values around each other in lists.
- Undo/redo system, everyone makes mistakes
- Save functionality
Press ? to see the key map, which should feel familiar to vim users.
cabal update && cabal install jet# Open a file for editing. Use ctrl-s to save back to the file.
# The edited file is output to stdout even if unsaved.
jet myfile.json
# Using jet in a pipeline for quick in-line edits.
cat myfile.json | jet > result.json- Figure out why vty needs two keystrokes to quit for some reason.
