WLX JSON viewer editor

[adoeller]

https://github.com/adoeller/tc-jsontab2

Grid view, inline editor, text syntax highlighting.

JSON Tab WLX is a native Windows Lister plugin for Total Commander that displays JSON documents as a combined tree, table, and formatted text view.

Both regular JSON documents (.json) and JSON Lines documents (.jsonl) are supported. JSONL records are shown as the elements of one root array and are saved back as one compact JSON value per line.

This project is a Lazarus/Free Pascal migration of the original jsontab-wlx plugin by little-brother. The original program established the user interface, behavior, and core feature set on which this port is based.

The migration keeps the familiar workflow while adding editing, improved sorting, and better performance for large arrays.

Differences And Extensions Compared To The Original

This Lazarus/FPC version adds or substantially changes:
•Native Free Pascal implementation with a Lazarus project
•Inline scalar editing and saving
•Virtual owner-data grid for improved large-array handling
•Result-index-based filtering and sorting without rearranging JSON data
•Stable locale-aware natural sorting
•Filter transfer between compatible tree nodes using Ctrl+Shift
•Filter fields smoothly follow horizontal grid scrolling and column-width
changes

•Automatic bounded column sizing based on visible results
•Explicit current-cell display and alternating row colors
•Extended context menu and keyboard controls
•Win32 and Win64 release build modes from one project

When I save after edit it use two space to indent instead of column-delimiter = \t.

When I save after edit it use two space to indent instead of column-delimiter = \t.

column-delimiter = ; Used when copy rows. Should be one char. Default is TAB

still, there is a parsing problem for column-delimiter that is fixed in the next upload

[adoeller]

fixed on github. use configured column-delimiter or TAB as default

[Hurdet]

tryed but not fixed.
;column-delimiter =
column-delimiter = TAB
column-delimiter = \t

[adoeller]

tryed but not fixed.
;column-delimiter =
column-delimiter = TAB
column-delimiter = \t

its the char exactly after the =
no space intended

;column-delimiter works as TAB as well

[Hurdet]

column-delimiter =\t
tryed also
I'm not able to do that it work.

[adoeller]

column-delimiter =\t
tryed also
I'm not able to do that it work.

\t are two chars. you have to enter an actual tab, e.g. copy and paste. or just comment the line

[Hurdet]

actual tab, e.g. copy and paste. or just comment the line, not work here.

tl;dr: display uniform children at same level in table/object
Image: https://x0.at/2cFU.png

•Optional FlatViewLevel: flatten object levels relative to the selected
tree node into columns (message, meta.message, and so on). For arrays, direct scalar columns are retained while nested objects are expanded (modulation_params.audio_freq). Array flattening requires a uniform schema with the same leaf paths in every row. The normal view is retained if rows differ, an intermediate level contains arrays, or objects remain below the requested depth.
