+### ⚠️ This project is no longer being maintained ⚠️
+Sorry for the silence, ya'll.  I'm no longer able to invest the time necessary to keep this project maintained.  It's been a great experience working with everyone. 
+based on recent discussion, it looks like [@microlink/react-json-view](https://github.com/microlinkhq/react-json-view) is a good candidate for replacement.
+Thank you to RJV users and everyone who contributed to this project. ❤️
