If modifiable is true and you want to take the updated json data, you must register event handler as v-on:change-data=.... Only one argument is passed that is updated data - data.

<div>   <tree-view :data="jsonSource" :options="{modifiable: true}" @change-data="onChangeData"></tree-view> </div>  // in your vue code   ...   methods: {     onChangeData: function(data) {       console.log(JSON.stringify(data))     }   },   ...
