Add a structured/tree data (JSON?) server/viewer

[kuhnroyal]

After seeing the awesome work you did here, I wonder if there would be a way to inspect Dart/Json (tree-like) object hierarchies.

I am using a form of redux and it would be awesome to inspect the state tree.

What would the leaves look like? Eg: every leaf has a single property or a collection of properties? For pure dart objects there would be need for some kind of serialization/deserialization mechanism given the absence of reflect (at least for flutter).

[kuhnroyal]

Yea Dart objects are probably not the way to go. Probably a JSON tree structure with basic properties and nested object nodes. This would allow all for kinds of data to be serialized and inspected. Serialization is ofc the responsibility of the implementer.

I made a suggestion for a tree server in tree_server.dart

I think this should work for json like data. Do you think anything is missing? If not I will start brewing up protocols and the eventual IDE support (though this is may take some time to get right)

[kuhnroyal]

What about setting the full tree, is TreePath([]) is effectively the root and we could just pass a Map<String, dynamic> as value?

[NicolaVerbeeck]

Jep, or anything that is supported. Could be you have a tree with only a root element, or an array as root

[kuhnroyal]

Sounds good!
