As a databrowser editor i want to edit the json directly if i have the Role "JsonEditor" assigned

@RudiThoeni I took a look at possible solutions:

• vue-json-pretty: already used in the project, has only restricted editing capabilities, meaning that only existing values can be modified (no property renaming, no addition / removal of properties, no addition / removal of array entries)
• codemirror: nice editor, adds ~ 150KB (zipped) download volume to the RAW page
• monaco: the VSCode editor, adds ~1.1MB (zipped) download volume to the RAW page, not mobile firendly

The vue-json-pretty has not enough features (very limited set of edit capabilities), so in my opinion it is not the right choice.

monaco is a great editor, but it has a huge foodprint (1.1MB zipped) and it is not mobile friendly.

Finally, codemirror seems to be the best fit for the purpose, but it also increases the download volume. If this is acceptable, I'd opt for codemirror.

@RudiThoeni @sseppi what are your opinions?

[sseppi]

Since for Patrick is important that the Data Browser works also on mobile, I agree that monaco isn't the right choice.

Probably codemirror is the best option, if vue-json.pretty hasn't all the edit capabilities we need.

@gappc since we have a lot of work already planned in the Milestone 2.2 (the next one), shall we program the implementation of this functionality in the Milestone 2.3?

[gappc]

@sseppi yes, I'd move it to Milestone 2.3 or even later, as this is a nice-to-have functionality that will be used only by a very few users. @RudiThoeni do you agree or do you think we should prioritize it more?

[RudiThoeni]

fine for me!

[sseppi]

OK, so let keep it in the Milestone 2.3 and then take the final decision at the beginning of the Milestone development when we decide all the functionalities will be implemented in the iteration.
