Since my last post, I’ve been adding new features to JSON Table Editor. Here are the enhancements:
- Button labels and tool-tips.
As I carefully observe the page, I asked myself whether the user interface is intuitive enough. From there, I changed some of the button labels with a clearer text. I also added additional information whenever user hover above certain controls. Hopefully this will make the UI less confusing.
On the sub-level, the “Output to JSON” button is changed to “Finish Editing”.
- Instantly load remote JSON/CSV file.
Not sure why I never think of this feature before. Now we can make the editor to automatically load a remote JSON/CSV file by passing parameters.
Example:- using URL parameter: Load Remote JSON file
- using URL and CSV parameters: Load Remote CSV file
- using URL, CSV and SEP parameters: Load Text Data with Tab as separator
- URL Shortener.
The URL described in point no. 2 will be very long. Sharing this long URL is definitely look ugly. Thus, I added option to shorten the URL whenever a remote JSON/CSV fis is successfully loaded.
- Upload to Paste Sites
A long time ago, a user complained why he can’t save the JSON output to other online storage like Google Docs/Spreadsheet. Since I don’t think a JSON file will fit nicely to a Google Spreadsheet, I decided to look other alternatives on storing text online. After short research, I picked Hastebin, Pastebin and DPaste as the upload destination. Purely due to the easiness to use their API.
That’s all guys. Looking forward to your feature request, bug reports! Cheers!
