JSON Data in GWT

[IDeshpande]

Hi All,

I have my application which sends me a form in JSON format.
Is there any direct way or API GWT provides to render this JSON data
into any GWT UI element like Panel or a Dialog box?

[Raphael André Bauer]

GWT itself does not support direct JSON Widget data binding.
If you want to parse JSON data I can recommend
https://github.com/chirino/resty-gwt . Rendering data after parsing
with resty gwt is simple...

Best,

Raphael

What do you mean by "a form in JSON format", and "render this JSON data" ?

BTW, besides other responses whose authors plug their own projects, GWT proper can do it too:

You can:

1. define JavaScriptOverlay types
   
2. parse JSON using JsonUtils.safeEval

Or you can:

1. define AutoBean interfaces and an AutoBeanFactory
2. GWT.create() your AutoBeanFactory
3. parse JSON using AutoBeanCodex.decode

As for the "rendering" part, well, if you're talking about "form data" (rather than form fields' description), have a look at the Editor framework, it'll work with either approach above.
