Re: Eclipse based JSON tester

[hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Aaron,

if your problem is speed reading JSON, you should take a look at 
the nodesupport in powerEXT, it generates well structured and
readable encoded JSON and sets all comma's for you and the only 
processor you need to find errors is sitting on top of your head ;-)

Here is an example of generated JSON:

{
                 "metaData":{
                                 "totalProperty":"totalRows"
                                 ,"root":"rows"
                                 ,"id":"RRN"
                                 ,"fields":[
                                                 {
 "name":"RRN"
                                                 }
                                                 ,{
 "name":"XAXAID"
                                                 }
                                                 ,{
 "name":"XAHEAD"
                                                 }
                                                 ,{

[WEB400] Eclipse based JSON tester






Hi All,

Just curious how others are testing their incremental JSON requests to the
server.  I am starting to build bigger applications where the browser
communicates JSON to my RPG, and thus it is getting laborious to do 
smaller
test cases because I have to click through a number of screens just to get
to a page to test my process, and am hoping there is a solid tool that can
store various instances of requests for quick and easy testing.

I use SOAPUI for my XML based testing and I see they have REST based
testing, but it seems to be over complicated (IMO) and would rather have 
it
live within Eclipse anyway as that is where I am coding my RPG and ExtJS.

Anybody found anything?
