When selecting a cell in datagrid and opening its content (SHIFT-Enter), it would be great to have, apart from already existing "Text" and "Hex", a view like "Json" (Xml, etc) with json string beautified (formatted, indented etc).
taht is a quick win, no? ;-)

hi @wiwwo ,
what db and datatype do you use?
as far as i can see it is already implemented, e.g. fo postgresql.

Hi! Maybe that is for fields that have json as datatype...
We want to store Jsons in DB without using the json datatype, but the normal varchar datatype (long story short: requirements, since that field could contain XML as well).
(Yes, my DB is postgresql)
