> 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.
