JSON Map Format
===============

Tiled can export maps as JSON files. To do so, simply select "File >
Export As" and select the JSON file type. You can export json from the
command line with the ``--export-map`` option.

The fields found in the JSON format differ slightly from those in the
:doc:`tmx-map-format`, but the meanings should remain the same.

The following fields can be found in a Tiled JSON file:

.. _json-map:

Tile Layer Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The data of a tile layer can be stored as a native JSON array or as
base64-encoded and optionally compressed binary data, the same as done in the
:ref:`TMX format <tmx-data>`. The tiles are referenced using
:doc:`global-tile-ids`.

Each tileset has a ``firstgid`` (first global ID) property which
tells you the global ID of its first tile (the one with local 
tile ID 0). This allows you to map the global IDs back to the 
right tileset, and then calculate the local tile ID by 
subtracting the ``firstgid`` from the global tile ID. The first 
tileset always has a ``firstgid`` value of 1.

A tileset that associates information with each tile, like its image
path, may include a ``tiles`` array property. Each tile
has an ``id`` property, which specifies the local ID within the tileset.

For the terrain information, each value is a length-4 array where each
element is the index of a :ref:`terrain <json-terrain>` on one corner
of the tile. The order of indices is: top-left, top-right, bottom-left,
bottom-right.

Example:

.. code:: json

    {
      "id":11,
      "properties":[
        {
          "name":"myProperty2",

Changelog
---------

Tiled 1.10
~~~~~~~~~~

* Renamed the ``class`` property on :ref:`json-tile` and :ref:`json-object`
  back to ``type``, to keep compatibility with Tiled 1.8 and earlier. The
  property remains ``class`` in other places since it could not be renamed
  to ``type`` everywhere.

Tiled 1.9
~~~~~~~~~

* Renamed the ``type`` property on :ref:`json-tile` and :ref:`json-object` to
  ``class``.

* Added ``class`` property to :ref:`json-map`, :ref:`json-tileset`,
  :ref:`json-layer`, :ref:`json-wangset` and :ref:`json-wangcolor`.

* Added ``x``, ``y``, ``width`` and ``height`` properties to :ref:`json-tile`,
  which store the sub-rectangle of a tile's image used to represent this tile.
  By default the entire image is used.

* Added ``tilerendersize`` and ``fillmode`` properties to :ref:`json-tileset`,
  which affect the way tiles are rendered.

Tiled 1.8
~~~~~~~~~

* Added support for user-defined custom property types. A reference to the
  type is saved as the new ``propertytype`` property of :ref:`json-property`.

* The :ref:`json-property` element can now have an arbitrary JSON object as its
  ``value``, in case the property value is a class. In this case the ``type``
  property is set to the new value ``class``.

* Added ``parallaxoriginx`` and ``parallaxoriginy`` properties to
  :ref:`json-map`.

* Added ``repeatx`` and ``repeaty`` properties to :ref:`json-layer` (applies
  only to image layers at the moment).

Tiled 1.7
~~~~~~~~~

* The :ref:`json-tile` objects in a tileset are no longer always saved with
  increasing IDs. They are now saved in the display order, which can be changed
  in Tiled.

Tiled 1.6
~~~~~~~~~

* The ``version`` property is now written as a string ("1.6") instead of a
  number (1.5).

Tiled 1.5
~~~~~~~~~

* Unified ``cornercolors`` and ``edgecolors`` properties of :ref:`json-wangset`
  as the new ``colors`` property and added a ``type`` field.

* :ref:`json-wangcolor` can now store ``properties``.

* Added ``transformations`` property to :ref:`json-tileset` (see
  :ref:`json-tileset-transformations`).

* Removed ``dflip``, ``hflip`` and ``vflip`` properties from
  :ref:`json-wangtile` (no longer supported).

* Added ``parallaxx`` and ``parallaxy`` properties to the :ref:`json-layer`
  object.

Tiled 1.4
~~~~~~~~~

* Added ``objectalignment`` to the :ref:`json-tileset` object.

* Added ``tintcolor`` to the :ref:`json-layer` object.

* Added ``object`` as possible type of :ref:`json-property`.

Tiled 1.3
~~~~~~~~~

* Added an ``editorsettings`` property to top-level :ref:`json-map` and
  :ref:`json-tileset` objects, which is used to store editor specific settings
  that are generally not relevant when loading a map or tileset.

* Added support for Zstandard compression for tile layer data
  (``"compression": "zstd"`` on :ref:`tile layer objects <json-layer>`).

* Added the ``compressionlevel`` property to the :ref:`json-map` object,
  which stores the compression level to use for compressed tile layer data.

Tiled 1.2
~~~~~~~~~

* Added ``nextlayerid`` to the :ref:`json-map` object.

* Added ``id`` to the :ref:`json-layer` object.

* The tiles in a :ref:`json-tileset` are now stored as an array instead
  of an object. Previously the tile IDs were stored as string keys of
  the "tiles" object, now they are stored as ``id`` property of each
  :ref:`Tile <json-tile>` object.

* Custom tile properties are now stored within each
  :ref:`Tile <json-tile>` instead of being included as
  ``tileproperties`` in the :ref:`json-tileset` object.

* Custom properties are now stored in an array instead of an object
  where the property names were the keys. Each property is now an object
  that stores the name, type and value of the property. The separate
  ``propertytypes`` and ``tilepropertytypes`` properties have been
  removed.

Tiled 1.1
~~~~~~~~~

* Added a :ref:`chunked data format <json-chunk>`, currently used for
  :doc:`infinite maps </manual/using-infinite-maps>`.

* :doc:`Templates </manual/using-templates>` were added. Templates can
  be stored as JSON files with an :ref:`json-objecttemplate` object.

* :ref:`Tilesets <json-tileset>` can now contain
  :doc:`Terrain Sets </manual/terrain>`. They are saved in the
  new :ref:`json-wangset` object (since Tiled 1.1.5).
