check out jtedit and see if it helps you :

You may not want to use it as it stands, but the method it employs for
presenting data on the page may be informative. I found that trying to
present JSON in an editor was too restrictive when the JSON can have
multiple levels of complexity, so instead it displays a simple text box
with the JSON plus scans for input fields tagged with class .jtedit_blah,
and when they change it updates the JSON. That way, when you know your
complex JSON layout, you can design a page e.g. with lists, tables or
whatever, and drop jtedit in to handle the updates.
