Research direction

Start by reviewing the v2 String customization path and the internal StringView and CopyIcon components mentioned in the issue. Done means a consumer can customize a specific key or its styling while retaining text shortening, expand/collapse, and copy-to-clipboard behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hi, thanks for the great work on @uiw/react-json-view!

When customizing the component in v2, important features like:
• Text shortening (ellipsis)
• Expand/collapse for long values
• Copy-to-clipboard

are lost because internal components like StringView or CopyIcon are not exposed.

Feature Request:
Please consider exposing internal components or providing a way to extend rendering without losing the default behavior.
This would allow simple customizations (e.g., styling a specific key) without re-implementing core logic.

Thanks again!
