Online visualizer / IDE

[koczkatamas]

The idea is to create a HTML/JS based online visualizer / IDE for parsing / visualizing binary formats on the web.

This could be extended to a fully fledged IDE where you can edit .ksy descriptors, compile them to different languages, etc.

Please also think about more general case - IDE for RE. Then parser of binary formats can be its module.

Electron and TypeScript can be good choice, see vscode, but it (vscode) contains telemetry and probably other MS specific "features", which can be removed from there. Also check Electron itself for sending data to third-parties.

Electron and Scala.js can be good choice too.

Another example - LightTable

An example of the application - KeeWeb.

Update: Atom is another example.

@markbook2 Ahem, isn't vscode just a fork of Atom, rebranded by Microsoft?

[LogicAndTrick]

@GreyCat No, but that's a common misconception. The only thing they share is the Electron shell.

The all applications above are based on Electron, Electron is based on brightray, which in turn is based on Chromium Content module wrapped as libchromiumcontent.

FYI: I started to create an "IDE" (more like a web-based visualizer) here: https://github.com/koczkatamas/kaitai_struct_webide

I close this one as I think we achieved what we'd like to achieve at first.
