JSON.Tree.Builder

What is this repo about?

The main goal of JSON.Tree.Builder is being easy to use.
Simply create live, HTML trees - from plain JSON objects using javascript.
Generated trees comes with the support of collapse/expand by click.

Why it is "simple"?

Because when you are using it, you're not expected to transform your JSON objects into "key/value" nodes
or similar tricks; it's simple: pass JSON and get a tree (it's green!).

The returned tree built as hierarchic <UL> elements and it is ready to be appended into your HTML page.

How can I use it in my project?

By three lines of javascript.
This is really a tiny lib and usage is pretty straightforward:

var treeBuilder = new JsonTreeBuilder();
var tree = treeBuilder.build(myJsonObject);
$('myTreePlaceholder').append(tree);

1. Initialize an instance of JsonTreeBuilder
2. call build function and pass your JSON object (as is)
3. append the result to your container element on the page

Good to go!

Dependencies

Hey, You!

Currently, this is a small, few hours project, with great potential.
It can be taken to the next level with features like keyboard navigation, search and node actions
like add, remove, edit, drag and drop etc.
