FIG-002 / OVERVIEW

at a glance.

react-json-view is a React-only JSON inspector, not a native Svelte alternative, and its last npm release was March 2021. This page exists for cross-framework evaluation and migration research.

FIG-003 / FEATURE MATRIX

side-by-side.

Every surface that matters, compared without spin.

Svelte 5 Native	yes	no
React Support	no	yes
Read-only Tree View	yes	yes
Editing Callbacks	no	yes
Snippet Overrides	yes	no
Zero Runtime Dependencies	yes	no

FIG-004 / STRENGTHS

where each shines.

▣ svelte json view lite 7

+Svelte 5 runes-native implementation
+Familiar API shape for cross-framework migrations
+Typed Svelte snippet overrides for primitive values and labels
+SSR-safe ids through $props.id()
+WAI-ARIA tree semantics with keyboard navigation
+Light and dark CSS-module themes with CSS-variable overrides
+Zero runtime dependencies

▢ react-json-view 2

+Mature React ecosystem package
+Inspector and edit callback features

FIG-005 / LIMITATIONS

where each falls short.

▣ svelte json view lite 3

−Focused on viewing, not editing
−No virtualization for very large JSON documents
−Smaller ecosystem than older React JSON viewers

▢ react-json-view 3

−React-only
−No npm release since March 2021
−Larger surface than display-only viewers need

FIG-006 / VERDICT

the honest call.

These are not drop-in alternatives within one framework. Choose react-json-view only for an existing React inspector workflow; choose @humanspeak/svelte-json-view-lite for a native Svelte 5 read-only tree.
