> 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.
