JSONDoc is a Javascript script that will render a json file as html. It is meant to be embedded in a webpage.
WARNING: This is a a project that was written as a fun little project. It is not guarenteed to function in a sensible manner, nor is it expected to be efficient.
To render a webpage written in JSON, create an html file that references the script jsd.js. Beneath that create another script that calls renderJSON(fileName, clearElement = false).
<script type="text/javascript" src="jsd.js"></script>
<script>renderJSON("example.json");</script>The render(element, json, clearElement, id) function can also be used to render json in a specific html element.
In scripts loaded in the JSON, window.onload and document.onload never fire because the page is loaded before the script is called. Instead, JSONDoc will fire an onJsonLoad synthetic event when the rendering of the json is finished.
See example.html as an example on how to use JSONDoc. Note: example.html must be run from a server because many browsers no longer let local files load or link to other local files.
