## Props
| Name | Description | Type | Default |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ----------- |
| v-model /
modelValue (Vue 3) /
value (Vue 2) | binding value | any | |
| mode /
v-model:mode (Vue 3) /
:mode.sync (Vue 2) | edit mode | `Mode` /
you can use string in JS | `Mode.tree` |
| debounce | debounce delay to update the binding value when typing in text mode, in milliseconds | number | `300` |
| stringified | whether to keep the binding value as stringified JSON in text mode | boolean | `true` |
| ... | properties of [svelte-jsoneditor](https://github.com/josdejong/svelte-jsoneditor/#properties) | | |
### parsed JSON vs. stringified JSON
- parsed JSON: what we commonly refer to as JSON, which can be of any data type.
- stringified JSON: serialized JSON, which is always a string type.
### Binding value difference between svelte-jsoneditor and json-editor-vue
- svelte-jsoneditor: An object contains a parsed JSON or a stringified JSON, will do `JSON.parse` when passing as a stringified JSON.
- json-editor-vue: JSON itself. What you see is what you get.
If you prefer the behavior of svelte-jsoneditor:
```html
```
### The association between binding value and modes
> [!Important]
>
> The input value is independent of modes, **except**:
>
> Input value of string type will be treated as a normal string under tree mode, as a stringified JSON under text mode by default.
>
> The output value of tree mode is a parsed JSON, the output value of text mode is a stringified JSON.
>
> But this correspondence can be disrupted by programmatic changes or mode switching.
>
> See https://github.com/josdejong/svelte-jsoneditor/pull/166 for more details.
FAQ: How to keep the value as parsed JSON in text mode?
> [!Caution]
>
> - Not performant for large JSON documents.
> - Adjust the `debounce` value based on the size of your JSON.
> - Will output `undefined` when the input value is invalid.
```vue
```
> [!Tip]
>
> You can use `mode="text"` in JavaScript context without installing vanilla-jsoneditor.
### Naming convention
Support camelCase and kebab-case for tag & property name.
> [!Tip]
>
> When using json-editor-vue or any Vue component via CDN (HTML), kebab-case must be used exclusively due to HTML's case insensitivity.
### Boolean properties
Including the boolean properties of svelte-jsoneditor like `readOnly` with no value will imply `true`:
- ✓ ``
- ✓ ``
## Exposes
