Description
I'm trying to keep a JSON datastructure in sync with its text representation for a custom VS Code editor.
I was thinking maybe it'd make sense to directly apply edit operations on the parsed tree rather than reparsing JSON every time?

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing the parser's existing AST and edit-operation APIs, then define how parsed-tree changes should stay synchronized with the JSON text; done requires an agreed scope and tests for the proposed modify and applyEdits behavior.
