json preview panel

It would be useful to have an optional panel when editing JSON that shows the JSON data in a more readable format. Similar to how .md files can be previewed in Orion on Jazz Hub (see top half of attachment), and there are probably other such preview panels in Orion that I am not aware of. 
Another example is http://www.jsoneditoronline.org/, see bottom half of attachment or visit the site. Collapse/expand feature being a necessary element for JSON preview I think, especially when the JSON is large with many fields, array and objects.
