Craig Peterson updated THRIFT-2360:
-----------------------------------
Description:
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.
