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