Description

Hi,

first of all let me thank you for your work, the editor is really useful on my desktop.

However, I'm searching for a good browser-based JSON editor that can be used on e.g. Android devices. Two issues seem to block this possibility.

1) Drag and drop does not work. I googled around and found this: http://touchpunch.furf.com/. Don't know however, how you implemented drag support right now and if this could be of any interest.

2) Editing does not work. I guess the way to go would be to make keys and fields actual text fields after selection. This way the keyboard could pop up. There is a project, that does this, its called JSONTinker (Unfortunately it does not have drag support).

Do you plan to support mobile devices?

Best Regards.

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Begin by locating the existing drag-and-drop and editing behavior, then verify both on Android or other touch devices; done means the editor supports mobile drag interaction and keyboard-based editing.
