Would it be hopeless to have the view routines always write JSON and then format it using a filter that doesn't have detailed semantic knowledge of each part? Alternatively, a lot of the output could be parsed in current form without _that_ much semantic knowledge (petscplot needed this), so we could recover numeric values and do some sort of fuzzy comparisons when deciding how severe a mismatch is. The comparison for convergence monitors needs semantic knowledge that it is a convergence monitor anyway. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
