    Hi,

    I'm looking for a JSON editor that we could use inside our OO.Net winkitted application.

    I see 2 possible approaches

    1.Using Telerik syntax editor

    2. Using CEF sharp browser and load a web based JSON editor.
    This idea came up before I found the Telerik syntax editor, but it may still have benefits over the Telerik approach.

    I'm wondering is it is feasible to use the CEF browse componten as a json editor.

    It should be pretty easy to host a web based json editor somewhere. (https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor or similar)

    I think the challenge will be to "display" a JSON string in the editor and getting the result back.

    Has anybody attempted this before ?
    Any ideas on how to approach this ?

    Any recommendations on JSON editors, preferable one that understands JSON schema.

    As this is not a SmartComponent Library or WinKit related question, you might have more luck on Progress communities.

    For developer tooling, I would just launch VS Code. If it needs to be integrated, the .NET Editor is easier, the CefSharp based approach will bring you further if you plan to move to browser based applications in the foreseeable future.

    Initially, I had just the CEF idea, that is why I posted on this forum.
    Already a clear answer but will ask on OpenEdge community as well.

    Thank you,
