YAML Grid View

Home Prev Top Next

YAML Grid View (screenshot below) shows the structure of the YAML document in a tabular grid format, which helps you to view and edit the document structure more easily. Additionally, Grid View offers some viewing and editing features not available in Text View.

Key Grid View features are listed below.

 

Document structure can be easily modified by adding, deleting, or moving objects in the grid. Entire blocks of text can be reorganized (for example, by sorting them or moving them).

Content can be edited easily in Grid View, especially by using the in-cell commands in individual cells.

A node with descendant nodes can be displayed in a table format, with each descendant object displayed in a separate row (see the table in the screenshot above).

Viewing features such as the ability to quickly determine the relationship between an alias and an anchor.

Filters and Formulas can be created in Grid View, respectively, filter the view of a node's contents and generate additional data on the basis of existing data. Note, however, that since these two features are based on XQuery, they will only work in JSON-like YAML. If the YAML contains non-JSON features, such as anchors or aliases, then an XQuery error message will be displayed.

Editing features such as drag-and-drop and datatype switching.
