[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-2360) Json Generator
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2360?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13898912#comment-13898912 ]
Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-2360:
-------------------------------------
Craig, I really like that idea!
This is beneficial for Apache Thrift users and worth to add!
The time will come and we have standardized json schemas
* http://tools.ietf.org/search/draft-zyp-json-schema-04
* http://json-schema.org/documentation.html
could you please prepare a patch for this?
thanks

> Key: THRIFT-2360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2360
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Reporter: Craig Peterson
> Assignee: Roger Meier
> 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. I can make a patch if people like the idea.
