JSON editor that lets me delete whole fields,merge etc.
Assuming you are already working with a programming language - I see no other reason to work with JSON - you could parse it, drop the field and serialize it back to a string. If you know a bit of JS, this may do the trick. If the json is not too big, you can paste it into your browsers console. Attention, typed on my phone :) JSON.stringify(JSON.parse(yourJsonString).map(d => { delete d.name; return d; })) More on reddit.com

r/javascript on Reddit: [AskJS] Does anyone know of any local JSON editor with GUI? (Windows)
February 7, 2025 -
I'd like to be able to view and edit the entries on a local JSON file, including adding and removing entries.
Some of the fields are paths to images or videos (they're stored in the same folder as the JSON file). I'd like those to be shown in the editor.
Is there an app that does that?

not sure exactly what you are asking for, but notepad++ plus the json extensions works pretty good for me. but json files are straight text files you can edit in any text editor. Are you looking for something to give you like an edit grid so you aren't directly editing the text?

Watching fields by itself doesn't do anything. For the example above, you need to tell JSON Editor that full_name should be fname [space] lname. JSON Editor uses a javascript template engine to accomplish this.

Generally when I want to create a JSON or YAML string, I start out by building the Perl data structure, and then running a simple conversion on it. You could put a UI in front of the Perl data structure generation, e.g. a web form.
Converting a structure to JSON is very straightforward:
use strict;
use warnings;
use JSON::Any;
my $data = { arbitrary structure in here };
my $json_handler = JSON::Any->new(utf8=>1);
my $json_string = $json_handler->objToJson($data);
