st.json collapse parameter

(Note, you don’t have to fill out every section here. They’re just here for guidance. That said, nicely detailed feature requests are more likely to get eng attention sooner)

Problem

Have a parameter for st.json(body, collapse) where the default is False but you can set it to True. This would allow developers to choose if the json file is expanded or collapsed when rendered on the Streamlit app.

Solution

MVP: a parameter to set the view of a json file on the first render in Streamlit

@vdonato Awesome, will attempt it in the coming weekend. I’m a newbie though so please bear with me.

Though this feature has been implemented, I feel that its work half done, since this option collapses each and every node of the json file. Can this feature be modified to collapse only the root node or provide the name of the node to colapse?
