Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] GSoC2013: JSONshark idea
Hi,
my name is Hendrik and I plan to apply to GSoC2013. I'm from Germany and
at the moment I study for the masters degree in computer science. I
found the JSONshark project idea and I'm very interested to get some
further informations about it, because it combines two of my favorites,
C programming and web interface and JSON usage. So here are my questions
and first ideas.
How should the communication between the Browser-Client and wireshark
work? HTML?
Should the JSON message based interface be something like a REST
webservice, because that was the first that came in to my mind as I read
the summary? This approach could later also be used as remote interface
to wireshark, or is this the initial intention?
For the Browser App I would suggest to use CoffeeScript together with
Backbone.js and JQuery. Backbone is really great if used together with a
REST interface. There is also a very good JavaScript testing framework
called Jasmine, that works great together with the technologies above.
Thanks
Hendrik
