Sounds like an interesting project, David. I've done some chart work using flot, but I'm afraid the code isn't public. It shouldn't be very difficult.
One thing you may run into is that services expecting JSON tend to expect a very specific JSON structure, and so the output from xdmp:to-json() may not be appropriate. If that's the case, you may have to build your own JSON with XQuery string-join() and concat() code. That isn't pretty, but it gets the job done. -- Mike On 10 Jun 2011, at 08:11 , Lee, David wrote: > I'm experimenting with providing chart capability of a set of data. > Stumbling over the various technologies (SVG, JavaScript charts, Flash charts > , HTML5 etc.) I ran across Google Visualization.
