Folks,

Has anyone developed a method to create multiple tiddlers directly into a 
JSON tiddler?

*Background*

I just built a macro to create color swatch tiddlers, more than 800.

   - I will share it soon, once I create some tools for color search and 
   copy tools
   - I did it Using a button containing a list and the 
   ActionCreateTiddlerWidget
   
*What?*

However I realised since the action create widget is basically handed a set 
of field=values it should be easy enough to create such tiddlers in a JSON 
file only as JSON tiddlers. 

   - It would need an append process

I will eventually build this myself if there is no response however please 
share any previous examples "Prior Art"  of doing this. It seems to me as 
deserving of a facility in the core so perhaps others have done it better 
than I can hope to.

*Why?*

   - When creating large numbers of reference or data tiddlers they could 
   be created directly into a json file saving space ?, but permitting access 
   as shadow tiddlers. While keeping the number of real tiddlers small. 
   - It could allow an intermediate step from what you choose to make into 
   a real tiddler. Then delete the JSON when finished.
   - It would allow virtual tiddlers to be created from tiddlywiki content 
   that exist only in the JSON format. 
   - JSON's are readily converted to drag-able packages, import tiddlers 
   and plugins.
   - JSONS can be interrogated as shadow tiddlers or as data-tiddlers.

Thanks in Advance
Tones
