Jet is a structural editor for JSON.

I.e. an editor which is aware of the structure of JSON and allows you to manipulate it directly. The document is always in a valid state.

• Structurally sound editing, never outputs invalid JSON.
• Copy/Cut/Paste JSON subtrees
• Subtree folding so you can focus on what's important.
• Transpose values around each other in lists.
• Undo/redo system, everyone makes mistakes
• Save functionality
