JSON Tree

Json Tree converts a JS object into a nice, visible depth-indented tree for console printing. The structure generated is similar to what you get by running the tree command on Unixy platforms.

{
    oranges: {
        'mandarin': {                                          ├─ oranges
            clementine: null,                                  │  └─ mandarin
            tangerine: 'so cheap and juicy!'        -=>        │     ├─ clementine
        }                                                      │     └─ tangerine: so cheap and juicy!
    },                                                         └─ apples
    apples: {                                                     ├─ gala
        'gala': null,                                             └─ pink lady
        'pink lady': null
    }
}

It also works well with larger nested hierarchies such as file system directory trees.

Getting it

For use with deno

import { jsonTree } from "https://deno.land/x/json_tree/mod.ts";
console.log(
   jsonTree({
      apples: 'gala',      //  ├─ apples: gala
      oranges: 'mandarin'  //  └─ oranges: mandarin
   }, true)
);

CLI

Alternatively, you can use it directly from the CLI:

Read Json from local directory

deno run --allow-read https://deno.land/x/json_tree/cli.ts path sample.json

Read Json from server

deno run --allow-net https://deno.land/x/json_tree/cli.ts fetch https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users

You can also install it globally using the following:

deno install --allow-net --allow-read -n jsonTree https://deno.land/x/json_tree/cli.ts

Then, the package is available to run:

jsonTree

Configuration

Required permissions:

--allow-net
--allow-read

Usage

The methods exposed to you are as follows, in a strange kind of signature notation:

jsonTree()

jsonTree(obj, showValues (boolean), hideFunctions?:bollean)

obj : json Object
showValues : To Show the object values in tree. set it true or false
hideFunctions : To Show the function in tree. set it true or false
