To execute, say, a java program from a Leo outline
Out of curiosity, are there any leo-to-other-languages bridges out there?
Better yet, is there a RESTful API that Leo can expose to get at the
nodes/commanders/globals? I can see this being a huge boon.
Leo would run a small local webserver on a local port (for this example,
we'll go with :9999). It would return JSON replies to queries. For
example, you could get a list of commanders with a request like:
http://localhost:9999/g/app/commanders
Returning something like:
{
"1": {
"id": "1",
"file":"/some/file/.leo"
}
}
Then to get a list of all positions:
http://localhost:9999/c/1/all_positions
API calls that need arguments could be passed with keywords:
http://localhost:9999/c/1/p/nthChild?n=4
Etc.
This could enable non-python languages to interact with Leo outlines in
a fairly hassle-free manner... nearly every language has simple bindings
to make http requests and parse json.
Well, hassle-free after someone writes the wrapper to the important bits
of the API.
Sorry to get off topic. It just struck me as potentially awesome.
