Configuring Options

A set of options controls the behavior of Oxygen JSON Editor, allowing you to configure most of the features. To offer you the highest degree of flexibility in customizing the application to fit the needs of your organization, Oxygen JSON Editor includes several distinct layers of option values.

Figure 1. Option Lookup Priority
The option layers are as follows (sorted from high priority to low):

  • Project Options

    Allows project managers to establish a set of rules for a specific project. These rules standardize the information exchanged by the team members (for example, if the project is stored in a repository, a common set of formatting rules avoid conflicts that may appear when documents modified by various team members are committed to the repository).

  • Global Options

    Allows individual users to personalize Oxygen JSON Editor according to their specific needs.

  • Default Options

    The predefined default values, tuned so that Oxygen JSON Editor behaves optimally in most working environments.

Important: If you set a specific option in one of the layers, but it is not applied in the application, make sure that one of the higher priority layers does not overwrite it.
