LEAF++ / GETTING STARTED

Content, in plain JSON.

Leaf++ stores structured JSON and generates an editor from its shape. Your application owns the markup, styling, and behavior.

Edit a document

Sign in with your operator-provided account, choose a project, and open a document. Form and JSON views edit the same content. Save changes with the button or Ctrl/Cmd+S.

Fetch content

Content reads are public. The homepage uses project Leaf-Plus-Plus.

GET /api/projects/Leaf-Plus-Plus/content/home/hero
GET /api/projects/Leaf-Plus-Plus/collection?prefix=/home

A document returns its raw JSON and an ETag. Collections return descendant documents as {path, data} entries; the parent document is fetched separately.

Order and activate

The homepage renders items with isActive: true and orders siblings by numeric sortKey. An inactive parent hides its descendants. Use these fields on root documents and nested objects.

Save safely

Management APIs require an authenticated session and an X-CSRF-TOKEN header. Create with If-None-Match: *; update with the current ETag in If-Match. A 412 response means content changed elsewhere: fetch the current version before reconciling.

When edits appear

The editor reads saved documents immediately. Public content and this homepage use an in-memory snapshot refreshed about every 30 seconds after each load attempt. A slow database can extend that delay.

Keep a copy

Use Import / export project in the editor to export JSON or preview an import. Existing documents are skipped by default. Projects organize content; they do not provide account-level permissions.
