What I’m hungry for is not so much this coherent application for exploring json data but rather a set of React components to integrate explorations like this into a web app.

Does anybody know of any good components or libraries for that?

Seconding this. I am also looking for an out-of-the-box component as such. The standard react-json-view is too limited.

The other opensource json visualizer I found operates on the similar model as OP's project, but it also doesn't provide a standalone component.

I'm wondering, if I offer an embedding feature, would people still be as eager for a react component? For example, something similar to CodeSandbox's embedding capability.

Perhaps (although unlikely) this thing I created 5 years ago helps, it's a react component created to be embedded in a go app but is independent, created just to scratch my own itch and not published to npm but anyone can just vendor it:

also has storybook but no online demo I'm sorry :(

edit: ha, I also found the plain js/css/html version there, a surprise from past me https://github.com/egeozcan/json-tail/tree/master/data/legac...

the exact table display component is here: https://github.com/egeozcan/json-tail/tree/master/data/src/a...

What about an embedded version of the website? I have seriously considered the need for an embedded version, and I plan to support it with high priority. But I'm not sure how much people actually need it.

Already uses React, so might be able to rip some of the components out
