1. What it is and how it works.
JSON Editor is a light weight editor that allows you to create and edit JSON files in an accessible, easy to follow interface.
Upon opening the program you are presented with a treeview, in which your JSON content will appear. You can switch to a raw text editor if you prefer by pressing alt and the number 2.
If you edit the JSON file content in the raw text screen, you must press tab and press enter on the parse button in order for the treeview to update. This also gives the program the opportunity to point out any syntax errors to you that it finds.
You navigate your file using the up and down, left and right arrow keys.
You start with an empty file. You can change the base type, I.E. what type of JSON you start with by pressing enter on the JSON label.
To add a new item, press tab once to get to the insert button, and hit enter.
To edit an item's value, arrow to it and hit enter.
To delete an item, arrow to it and hit delete.
to save your file, press alt, then arrow to save.
To open a new file, press alt, then arrow to open or press control O.
To exit, press Alt f4.
To change to the options screen where you can change some of the program's functionality, press alt and 3.
To jump to the text editor, press alt and 2.
To return to the treeview, press alt and 1.

2. Optional launch features.
You can launch JSON Editor from the command line with any of the following:
JSONE.exe: Just opens the program on a blank file.
JSONE.exe -c "json content": Opens the program and feeds in a raw string to be parsed into JSON.
JSONE.exe -f "file name": Opens the editor with a specific file in mind.

This project was a bit of a side project built out of requiring something to break down large files into manageable edits and so if you need something added, let me know!
