How do I parse nested JSON object?

Is there a good editor for editing lists of JSON objects in flat files?

• I am wondering whether this would be a good solution for editing simple, but large typed data sets. My first desire is to be able to edit flat lists of JSON objects in an almost Excel-like datatable (an alternative to CSV, perhaps). Secondarily, it would be nice to be able to edit lists of nested JSON objects. My thinking is that this 'editor' should be able to operate on text files where there is one JSON encoded object per line, with no nested line breaks. Google BigQuery ingests files formatted in this way (https://developers.google.com/bigquery/preparing-data-for-bigquery#dataformats), except they support embedded newlines for JSON objects.

• Answer:

  JSON Editor Online could be what you need (http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/) Ace is great too and works for large files: http://ace.c9.io/ Also, I'm playing around with different editors for an encoding similar to JSON called Space (http://spaceful.org/) that might be relevant.
