jsonwidget is a general-purpose JSON validation and manipulation library. This library provides the following functions for applications:

• Validation of JSON-compatible data against a schema

• Automatic generation of a schema from JSON-compatible data

• Construction of a curses-based tree data editing user interface from a schema

• csvedit - A variation on jsonedit that allows editing of .csv/tsv files.

• jsonaddress - an example JSON address book editor

• jwc - a command line utility with the following functions:

  • editserver - launch a web server to edit a json file from a browser

  • json2yaml - convert a json file to yaml with comments pulled from schema (also yaml2json to go back)

  • schemagen - create a schema from an example json file

  • validate - validate a JSON file against a schema
