JSON support

Post by blank »

I would love to see support for JavaScript Object Notation in WeBuilder, primarily in the way of the 'Code Explorer'

Has this been considered?

Oh, I would like this VERY much.. if only since the usefulnes of the code explorer diminishes when writing a little more advanced JavaScriopt (in JSON). ie:

function myFunction() { //functioncode here }

displays fine but

myFunction : function () { //functioncode here },

does nothing for me :(

We have intention to improve Javascript auto complete support some day. This probably won't happen with next major version.
I am not a web developer myself, so I do not know if JSON is used widely and would be a welcome introduction not only for you two... ;) Maybe there is some aspect of language that should be considered first?

I expect JSON-usage penetration to grow within the next couple of years. If only since AJAX and other dynamic-state patterns will benefit from serialized data over the more verbose XML data exchange formats.

But I can defenitely see why this wouldn't on the top of your todo list ;)

for those of you wanting more info on json, wikipedia's entry is VERY thourough and has plenty of resource links

Hey, Gatis,

We use JSON occasionally, too. And I already mentioned to Karlis in msn that we need this feature, so make sure you convince him ;)
