1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    ```
    cd /path/to/project

    ```

    ```
3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Jason.

Jason Overview
--------------

[](#jason-overview)

Jason is a fieldtype tailored for displaying JSON data, typically collected from a frontend form.

Using Jason
-----------

[](#using-jason)

[![Settings](resources/img/settings.png)](resources/img/settings.png)

Jason fields can be set to readonly, allow value-only editing, or allow full editing of data (when editing keys or reordering is necessary).

Values can be accessed in templates like normal, but unless keys are in `camelCase`, you'll need to use array syntax eg. `{{ entry.myJasonField.some.nested["super key"] }}`

Jason Roadmap
-------------

[](#jason-roadmap)

Some things to do, and ideas for potential features:

- Syntax highlighting while editing raw data
- Editable keys within control panel
