Pretty formated JSON editor for django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField in django admin.

[Ratan Kulshreshtha]

I want to propose that django.contrib.postgres.fields.JSONField should have a JSON editor with pretty formatted, syntax highlighting, and JSON validation django admin, currently it uses simple text box.

Hello,

Yes, that would be nice. There's a couple existing third-party implementations (search for "django json editor"), however none of them looks ready for dropping into Django.

How can I add this functionality to my django admin ?

This would certainly make a good package, but I'm not sure it belongs in core Django, as it would likely introduce dependencies for everyone.

I've done something similar for the Wagtail CMS on Django using the PrismJS library: https://github.com/FlipperPA/wagtailcodeblock A similar package only using JSON could be built for the Django admin for those who want it.
