Json dump
Hi :)
Would you be interested in someone implementing json dumps handling ? :)
cheerz :)
Hey PurpleBarbar!
This chrome extension was actually inspired by https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jsonview/chklaanhfefbnpoihckbnefhakgolnmc which does JSON parsing.
I think they do a pretty good job, do you think we will be able to do it better?
Hey :)
Not sure, about better, but i'd be pretty happy, to have all dumps in one extension rather than have two extensions for the same job :/
what's your opinion on that ?

I agree it would be nice to have both in one place. If we can keep the abstraction really clean so that maintaining it is easy I would love to have this!
I'll see if I can find some time to prepare the code for this abstraction as well. Things are a little messy at the moment :)

I took a look at the extension code last night, and it seems rather complex to me for the moment :p i will give it another shot today, to see if it's possible to keep the abstraction as it is :)
I imagined an another pattern for the construction:
Detect what is dumped then instantiate a type of parser with an interface guaranting some basic functionnalities and then render the parsed result... what would you think of that ?
Tha abstraction would be base on a parser and we could even dump more and more things just by adding a parser no ?
Cheerz :)
Sorry for the slow replies - life is super busy right now.
I like the approach you are thinking about. If we can abstract the "initiation" phase we can make this super flexible.
Currently the "parsing" happens via a PEGJS (https://pegjs.org/) grammar. I really like how well this has been working, so I suggest all other things (i.e. JSON dumps) also use a formal grammar like this.
