Features in Detail

$3

When editing values, the component maintains the original data type:
- Strings remain strings
- Numbers remain numbers
- Booleans remain booleans
- Arrays and objects can be edited as JSON

Styling

The component uses Tailwind CSS classes. Make sure your project has Tailwind CSS configured, or the component will use inline styles as fallback.
