</head>

You can also simply copy json-viewer/jquery.json-viewer.js and json-viewer/jquery.json-viewer.css files from this git repository into your project.

Usage

Call the jsonViewer() method on target element and pass your JSON data in argument:
<pre id="json-renderer"></pre>

var data = {
  "foobar": "foobaz"
};
$('#json-renderer').jsonViewer(data);

Options

The jsonViewer method accepts an optional config object as a second argument. The supported options are:
  • collapsed (boolean, default: false): all nodes are collapsed at html generation.
  • rootCollapsable (boolean, default: true): allow root element to be collasped.
  • withQuotes (boolean, default: false): all JSON keys are surrounded with double quotation marks ({"foobar": 1} instead of {foobar: 1}).
  • withLinks (boolean, default: true): all values that are valid links will be clickable, if false they will only be strings.
  • bigNumbers (boolean, default: false): support different libraries for big numbers, if true display the real number only, false shows object containing big number with all fields instead of number only.

Example:
$('#json-renderer').jsonViewer(data, {collapsed: true, withQuotes: true, withLinks: false});

Big number support

Enabling bigNumbers the json object visible will show the number stored inside the object only and does not display all fields.
Example Object using Decimal.js - other libraries are similar: 
var Decimal = require('decimal.js');
var data = { "x": new Decimal(123) };

$('#json-renderer').jsonViewer(data, {bigNumbers: false});

// {
//   "x": {
//        "constructor": ,
//        "s": 1,
//        "e": 2,
//        "d": [
//          123
//        ]
//   }
// }

$('#json-renderer').jsonViewer(data, {bigNumbers: true});

// {
//   "x": 123
// }
