JsonViewer

Bundled with Goldie is a specially-modified version of JsonViewer. This is not officially part of Goldie, but is included as a convenience. JsonViewer requires the .NET runtime. It has also been tested to run on Linux with Mono, but it's a little bit buggy that way.

The original JsonViewer (available from http://www.codeplex.com/JsonViewer) is a tool written in C# for viewing JSON files (JSON is a text-based data file format and a common alternative to XML).

The version of JsonViewer bundled with Goldie still retains that functionality, but has been modified to include a special Parse Tree Mode for viewing a text document side-by-side with a JSON-based tree that describes the text. This is useful, for example, for viewing the JSON files that are output by Goldie's Parse tool.

Using the Parse Tree Mode: Click a tree node in the left panel to highlight the corresponding section of text. Click a location in the text and then click "Jump to Node" to select the corresponding node.

Source code and Visual C# 2008 Express project files are included. Note that unlike Goldie, JsonViewer is licensed under the Microsoft Community License (Ms-CL) v1.1.

The main JsonViewer executable is here:
    {Main Goldie Directory}\JsonViewer\JsonView.exe

A from-scratch rewrite in D is planned.

Note: This program has some trouble with very large JSON files. So when using it with Parse, keep in mind that parse trees tend to get very large, very fast.
