  • 0

I would like to use the Glimpse client viewer in a web application in order to render some JSON. I am unable to use the Glimpse server implementation on the site in question. However, I can implement my own IHttpHandler to render the information using the Glimpse JSON format.

Has anyone done this and posted details on how to do it? If not, can anyone tell me the steps required to get this up and running? Alternatively, are there any other similar viewer frameworks out there?

Note: I am poking around the source and have seen the client js etc. I will continue down the source hacking route, but was hoping someone may have some shortcuts for me!

    As Nik said I would be interested in what you are trying to do. But in the mean time the best place to look is http://getglimpse.com/Protocol.

    If you look on this page you will see that we have built a protocol tester. This allows you to put in any JSON and see the output.

    If you want to do this yourself, have a look at http://getglimpse.com/Scripts/Protocol/LayoutExample.js and you will see how we do this without using the whole of Glimpse.

    You will see that we are doing something like the following:

    var data = { test : 'test', hello : 'hello' };
var html = $Glimpse.glimpseProcessor.build(data, 0, false)
$('.panel').html(html);

    I know this isn’t as nice as it could be but it wasn’t designed with this in mind.

    We are currently working on refactoring the client code to make this all better.
