This project is made possible thanks to the [[https://github.com/DamienCassou/hierarchy][hierarchy]] project.

** Installing

Use [[http://melpa.org/][melpa]].

** Using

Move point before a JSON document and type ~M-x json-navigator-navigate-after-point~, alternatively select a JSON region and invoke ~M-x json-navigator-navigate-region~. This will open a new buffer where you can navigate the JSON hierarchy.

The available keybindings in the ~hierarchy tree~ buffer are the standard Emacs tree widget ones, ~Tab~ and ~shift-Tab~ will move on the tree, and ~Enter~ will expand/collapse nodes. The mouse can also be used to expand/collapse nodes by clicking on them.

[[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TreeMode][Tree mode]], if installed, can be activated in the JSON navigator ~hierarchy-tree~ buffer to allow for additional functionality like expanding whole subtrees, navigating to siblings and so on.
