Objects with '.' characters in keys display with truncated/trimmed keys

Thanks for the great library – it’s saving me so much time manually writing complicated editors.

Expected behavior

Schema:

{
  "title": "JVM Arguments",
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "-Dsun.rmi.dgc.ackTimeout"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "-Dsun.rmi.dgc.ackTimeout": {
      "type": "string"
    }
  }
}
    

Object:

{
  "-Dsun.rmi.dgc.ackTimeout": "10000"
}

I’d expect the form to use -Dsun.rmi.dgc.ackTimeout instead of ackTimeout for the header.

It looks like this has something to do with path computations splitting on ‘.’

Normally I’d try find a different separator to use, but since my editor is showing JVM arguments, I don’t have a choice except to display with '.'s.

@co16353sidak I can see that @disalvjn did some work on this, see: https://github.com/disalvjn/json-editor/commit/417070eb2ffd34f1f95d9ea24d74879b27ab47fa But since he never committed it to the main repo, I guess you can take over if you want.

You can use headerTemplate to display any title you want.

The problem is not the title, but that he is using dots in the field names. This is just not possible as JSON-Editor uses dots as a separator between identifiers.

If you have a field in you schema named “test”, JSON-Editor refers to this as “root.test” So if you name your field “te.st”, JSON-Editor won’t be able to separate the various parts of the identifier,

You will probably have to filter the schema and change dots to some other characters, before applying it to JSON-Editor. And then do the same to restore the field names, after retrieving the result object.
