Added an Editor

There is now an Editor so you can play with HDElk online. This was built with three additional technologies - CodeMirror for editing, PermissiveJSON to allow very loose JSON to be entered and FileSaver.js to assist with getting the various artifacts saved.

ToloFramework Permissive JSON Parser

This NodeJS module takes pretty loose JSON and parses it as if it were typed correctly.

From the Repo

Permissive JSON:

{ul
  // This comment will be ignored.
  class: [bright shadowed]
  [
    {li ["Happy birthday!"]}
    {li ["Mister president."]}
  ]
}

The same object in strict JSON:

{
  "0": "ul",
  "class": ["bright", "shadowed"],
  "1": [
    { "0": "li", "1": ["Happy birthday!"] },
    { "0": "li", "1": ["Mister president."] }
  ]
}

It lets you get away with murder.

Without PermissiveJSON, we’d need to be a lot more correct in the editor. Or we’d need to do Javascript.eval( )’s

The code was adapted for use in the browser.

FileSaver.js
