[jira] [Created] (THRIFT-2360) Json Generator

Craig Peterson created THRIFT-2360:
--------------------------------------

             Summary: Json Generator
                 Key: THRIFT-2360
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2360
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Compiler (General)
            Reporter: Craig Peterson
            Priority: Minor


I have made a generator which generates a json representation of all of a program's metadata.

I can see multiple potential uses for such a representaion:

1. Easier to create template based generators in any language. Will allow easier one-off or prototype generators. Could help [THRIFT-1173]
2. Could theoretically create client libraries that could dynamically run directly from a thrift file. Could be useful for a dynamic test client or other similar uses. I want to make an html based test client that could work on any service.

my code is at https://github.com/captncraig/thrift/tree/json
