// Simple yet flexible JSON editor plugin.
// Turns any element into a stylable interactive JSON editor.

// Dependencies:

// * jQuery
// * JSON (use json2 library for browsers that do not support JSON natively)

// Example:

//     var myjson = { any: { json: { value: 1 } } };
//     var opt = { change: function() { /* called on every change */ } };
//     /* opt.propertyElement = '<textarea>'; */ // element of the property field, <input> is default
//     /* opt.valueElement = '<textarea>'; */  // element of the value field, <input> is default
//     $('#mydiv').jsonEditor(myjson, opt);
