Roger Meier commented on THRIFT-2360: ------------------------------------- here it is: fbthrift/blob/master/thrift/compiler/generate/t_json_generator.cc > Json Generator > -------------- > > Key: THRIFT-2360 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-2360 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Sub-task > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
