Re: [Haskell-cafe] Simple GUI library to view JSON?

20 Feb 2012


      Not that I've tried it, but I doubt you need to save objects to disk to
serve them with Yesod. Just serialize them to JSON in memory and serve that.

Thanks, it is a good idea to use JSONView. Yet I also want to reuse this
code to view lists of objects in MongoDB collection. MongoDB objects are in
fact JSON, so the same code should work. I am not sure though that saving
MongoDB objects in intermediate JSON and then displaying them in JSONView
would be the best way to go.

You could set up a simple web server (with, for example, Yesod [1])
serving up your JSON data, and then just connect to it with Firefox and use
JSONView.

Please advise on a simple GUI library to display JSON data. A library
that is easy to build both on Win, Linux and OsX. I need a scrollable view
to show a list of JSON objects. Every object may contain other objects
(recursively). List may have thousands of objects. Fields may have very
long text values, so the view must also be scrollable in horizontal
dimension.
JSON object view should be click-able and look like on this example:
{
    hey: "guy",
    anumber: 243,
    - anobject: {
        whoa: "nuts",
        - anarray: [
            1,
            2,
            "thr<h1>ee"
        ],
        more: "stuff"
    },
    awesome: true,
    bogus: false,
    meaning: null,
    link: "http://jsonview.com",
}
Where '-' before the field object indicates that object was expanded and
'+' means collapsed object.
Clicking on expanded fields should collapse them and vice verse. So for
this example, clicking on 'anobject' should result in:
{
    hey: "guy",
    anumber: 243,
    anobject: {    ... }
    awesome: true,
    bogus: false,
    meaning: null,
    link: "http://jsonview.com",
}
In short I need a view similar to the one provided by JSONView plugin
for Firefox:

Thanks a lot for any info, comments and ideas about this project!
