+If you have a setup for your project with a bundler (like Vite, Rollup, or Webpack), it is best to use the default ES import:

+import { JSONEditor } from 'vanilla-jsoneditor'

+
+The standalone bundle contains all dependencies of `vanilla-jsoneditor`, for example `lodash-es` and `Ajv`. If you use some of these dependencies in your project too, it means that they will be bundled twice in your web application, leading to a needlessly large application size. In general, it is preferable to use the default `import { JSONEditor } from 'vanilla-jsoneditor'` so dependencies can be reused.
