I didn't like it. I was "Blacklisted for abuse" for no reason. Unless you define adding a redundant comma by mistake as abuse. (؟)

  Poe's law is in action here, so I am not sure if you're serious. In case you are, you were not blacklisted for abuse, but the service you were using (the JSON editor) was blacklisted for abuse by the service that was hosting it (rawgit.com)

      I recommend using the following link, which should agree with the github TOS: http://cdn.rawgit.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/examples/css_integration.html http://cdn.rawgit.com/jdorn/json-editor/master/examples/css_...

        Could the article link be changed to that?
- jtokoph 12y ago
  You weren't blacklisted. The site owner was blacklisted because use like this is against the github TOS

    This isn't actually hosted on github - it's a 3rd party service.

I'd like something like this for XML.
- jerf 12y ago
  I've seen attempts at it before. It gets pretty complicated, because of attribute/content split. You're basically choosing between something so generic and complicated it's hardly any better than a validating text editor with autocomplete, or something so cut down that it is by default specialized to its use case, in which case it is basically just a specialized editor of some sort that happens to serialize to XML, which is common, and no longer is a "general XML editor".
  - d55 12y ago
    I know. This project uses a json schemas which are somewhat similar so xml schemas though. Maybe a converter could be developed.

I guess rawgit should change its strategy: they instruct people to not link to rawgit.com but to cdn.rawgit.com when you expect heavy traffic. The thing is that you have to read their instructions, which is probably not what you see when you receive a link to them. So you share that very same link, and if you share it on HN it crosses their threshold. Maybe they could use a redirect to their cdn URLs when such threshold is crossed, reverting it when some time is passed. Beside, the redirect or a gentle message would be cheaper than serving evil.js and evil.css.
- Fuxy 12y ago
  Well that left a bad impression on me. I'm not sure i like this service anymore if this is their response to high traffic loads.
- btbuildem 12y ago
  Agreed, I had to refer to the comments here to find a working link. Their message was not helpful.
- rgrove 12y ago
  I run rawgit.com. Actually, I've tried both approaches. Redirecting does nothing to reduce excessive traffic, because nobody notices they're doing anything wrong. The traffic just keeps coming, and I keep having to redirect it, which doesn't help me at all. Displaying an annoying message, on the other hand, gets fast results, because _everyone_ notices and complains. Both rawgit.com and cdn.rawgit.com are completely free (the former paid for out of my own pocket, the latter generously donated by MaxCDN). I don't think it's too much to ask that a person read the prominent instructions before using this free service. For more background on how rawgit's abuse prevention works, read this article I wrote about a particularly painful incident: https://medium.com/the-javascript-collection/the-naughtiness-score-9a61872c61cd https://medium.com/the-javascript-collection/the-naughtiness...

    Don't fucking run a service if you are going to hassle the people that use it. Your medium article makes you look like even more of an asshole.

Just change the name of the master branch on the remote to "gh-pages" and have GitHub host the files on github.io.

URL debacle aside, I think this seems like a pretty good tool. My only qualm is that it seems a bit busy. In my mind, a good json editor will make it easier to edit the data, but here I had to scroll more and click more.

This would be great for integrating into CouchDB for entering common types of documents into Futon.

This is the one I have been using for so long... and it is open source as well. http://jsoneditoronline.org/ http://jsoneditoronline.org/

I'm currently working on integrating this in my app. I really like the combination of json-schema and json as a protocol. Where no custom UI is defined json-editor jumps in to save the day.

Otherwise known as "How to data-harvest a very interesting selection of JSON records from users all over the world." No thanks, with my data - its offline and safe, or not at all.
