Inspect the intended branch
Navigate to the relevant object or array and confirm the surrounding structure before adding, removing, or changing a value.
Edit JSON structurally
JSON grid editor — create well-formed JSON data
Use a Windows JSON view to inspect objects and arrays, make deliberate edits, and validate the result.

Create and review JSON structure
Work with JSON as a navigable hierarchy
The grid editor presents objects, arrays, properties, and values in a structured Windows workspace. Use it when a document’s shape is easier to inspect than source text. A structural view clarifies a change but does not replace contract or validation rules.
Make one deliberate edit
Keep each change reviewable, then inspect the generated JSON representation before saving a document.
Validate the result
Run a well-formedness check and, when a schema applies, review the instance and schema locations behind any diagnostic.
Grid editor workflow
Use the structured view without losing the data context
- Open the JSON document and choose the current grid or structured editor view.
- Navigate to the object, array, property, or value that needs review.
- Make a focused change, then check its surrounding structure and save to the intended working copy.
- Validate the document against the required syntax and JSON Schema rules.
Structured editing is not contract proof
A grid can make the shape of JSON easier to read and modify, but it does not establish business rules, external-reference resolution, or schema conformance. Keep validation as a separate explicit step.
Choose the right editing view
Use text or a large-data workflow when the grid is not the right fit
Large, wide, or deeply nested documents can be more practical in a text or large-file view. Start with a representative input, choose the view that remains responsive for the task, and keep an unchanged source until the result is reviewed.
