Version History

Release 1.1 (250120)

• This version is capable of preserving the sort order of keys in JSON objects (dictionaries).
• When trying to open invalid JSON files, the first detected syntax error will now be shown in detail.
• The strict limitation not to support “JSON fragments” (files that have a scalar value, not embedded in an array or dictionary at the top) has been lifted.
• The application can now open JSON5 files that use the “\x” escape notation to specify Latin characters via two hexadecimal digits.
• The application can now open JSON5 files where specific notations for floating point numbers use more leading zeros than necessary.
• Fixes a problem where specific warning dialogs may have been suppressed when opening invalid files.
• This version adds an optimization to detect whether started edit operations actually change a property list value or not. This detection can avoid that macOS triggers aggressive autosave operations when users perform a non-modifying edit operation, just as copying a value to the pasteboard, for example.
