Introducing… The Debugger Protocol Viewer app

[Paul Irish]

Hiya folks,

I bet there's a lot of folks on this list that have spent time poking around a big JSON file called protocol.json. :)

Now we have a much more civilized UI for navigating the protocol:

    chromedevtools.github.io/debugger-protocol-viewer/

Features:

• Unique URLs for domains, methods, events and types
• Built in Polymer and Jekyll
• Referenceable custom types
• Looks pretty good. ;)

Before & after

Here's a good shot comparing our existing protocol docs to the new stuff.

What's next & wishlist:

• Automatically stays up to date against ToT
• Protocol snapshots of 1.1, stable, beta, dev
• Subscribe to protocol changes
• Local search & filter
• and a few more.

It's all on github so please file issues there:

https://github.com/ChromeDevTools/debugger-protocol-viewer

And please submit pull requests. The project is very straightforward to hack on. 

HUGE thanks to Konrad Dzwinel, who built most of this. 

Konrad is a Google Developer Expert for Chrome and top answerer for DevTools questions on StackOverflow. 

He's also been building great tools for web developers for a while like SnappySnippet  (extract computed CSS and HTML from selected element) and DOMListener  (monitor all DOM changes made).

Big thanks also to Eric Guzman who built the viewer (https://rawgit.com/ChromeDevTools/debugger-protocol-viewer/v0.1/index.html) that kickstarted this effort.

Lastly, a quick disclaimer, 

I should point out that this viewer currently shows the most recent version of the protocol (~ a few days old). If you're using the protocol in a production environment, parts may break, however the 1.1 subset is stable. More details: https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/debugger-protocol

Update…

The app has continued to get updates and upgrades.

It now has search, permalinks and describes object types.

The protocol version shown is generally ToT, though it's bumped manually at the moment.
