It isn't, but for what it's worth that's what I do currently: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-ostree/tree/src/js/jsonutil.js But this app is basically Tiny Data. One starts to want SQLite and such when getting to Medium-Small Data and needing efficient indexing in process. Finally on the Large and Big Data sides you're just doing RPC to some server. > I was wondering whether an API based on HTML5's IndexedDB[1] (and maybe > a GtkTreeModel to display the database contents/filtered results) would > be of interest in GLib. I don't have any experience with IndexedDB myself; on the surface it looks nice. This particular domain though is tricky because a "nice" data binding API really wants language-specific hooks. The old pygtk treemodel binding had some smarts here. Don't forget though you always have the ability to write a C library that does whatever you want (sqlite via C for example), and exports results to JS. There's obviously a lot of other stuff in this domain... libgda long predates introspection, but it claims to have something useful here: http://www.gnome-db.org/Bindings _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
