multiline strings

[jhiswin]

multi-line strings have their newlines stripped, since input textboxes don't support multiple lines

Was just thinking a single line textarea might be nice (allow resizing by user)

[jhiswin]

Or maybe a different format/editor?

I'd still want to modify the default; I don't like that it mangles multi-line strings by default.
Perhaps a validation error, or modify resolvers to switch to multi-line textareas. (Personally) I don't think that single line textarea is the best solution. Maybe add a checkbox to toggle multi-line mode.

There are now several ways you can do this:

With schema format:

{
  "type": "string",
  "format": "textarea"
}

With schema options:

{
  "type": "string",
  "options": {
    "format": "textarea"
  }
}

Set the default format for strings (i.e. what to use when no other format is specified):

JSONEditor.defaults.editors.string.options.default_format = 'textarea';

There is definitely still room for improvement:

• Way to customize the width/height of the textarea
• Auto-detect when strings have new lines and use textarea automatically

Great to hear... As far as width/height, why not just leave that to stylesheets and classes (or data-* attributes)? textareas do accept height/width...
