It's not, but it uses that editor. The difference between the two is that with JSON Blob, you can collaboratively edit/share your JSON and use it programmatically via the JSON Blob API.
Nice!
I have to use things like this all the time when debugging writes to mongo, so this is really neat. I like the design, although being able to resize the windows would be nice. On my 17" Macbook, there's more unused space that I really need.
It's also really cool that you can save/restore - I could see this being used like jsFiddle.
It's running on a single Heroku dyno with the free MongoHq service, so at some point I'll have to figure out what to do when there's more than 512MB of documents stored, but for now it's running indefinitely.
I like the idea bu... When adding new key/value pairs, the text 'field' and 'value' should either be placeholders or selected on focus so a user's first keypress wipes those strings from the field. Having to manually select all is not intuitive and forces the user to do work easily done by the computer.
Nicely done, sir. Wasn't exactly sure what the true power was for a minute. I really like the json editor, but what really sells it is being able to have mock urls that actually function. Perfect for setting up a data source via the api for use among multiple engineers. You should somehow make that bit of info more prominent in the demo.
Thanks! I definitely didn't do a good job at that based on the feedback I've received. I'll try to make it more prominent because that was the sole purpose of the project.
Regarding the presentation part of this, even if you don't use it for exchanging data, serializing JSON to YAML can output a nicely readable and terse structure. The example JSON ends up looking like this: http://pastebin.com/gw6SGz4U

Thanks for clarifying, and great work!

GL!
I'm going to try to get this working for JSON Blob API's documentation over the weekend.
Other than that, I like it a lot. Very cool side project
Is there a directory of sites like this somewhere, by the way?
http://hnshowcase.com : visual preview, filtering, social integration, etc.
http://showinghn.com : minimalist list based on /newest polling

Do you plan to keep it up indefinitely or open-source it?

... far to sensitive. You can press "clear" in the toolbar then try to close the browser tab and it'll pop up on a empty document.
Personally, I wouldn't have that at all.
Apart from that, it looks very nice. Many options for manipulating the JSON object, cool!
And a fairly far fetched request: Turn it into a Chrome plugin ( similar to: http://goo.gl/7lR5a )
