<p>
Bundled with Goldie is a specially-modified version of JsonViewer. This is not
officially part of Goldie, but is included as a convenience. JsonViewer
requires the .NET runtime. It has also been tested to run on Linux with Mono,
but it's a little bit buggy that way.
</p>

<p>
The original JsonViewer (available from [$urlLink|http://www.codeplex.com/JsonViewer$])
is a tool written in C# for viewing JSON files (JSON is a text-based data file
format and a common alternative to XML).
</p>

<p>
The version of JsonViewer bundled with Goldie still retains that functionality,
but has been modified to include a special
[$pageLink|ParseTreeMode| Parse Tree Mode $] for viewing a text document
side-by-side with a JSON-based tree that describes the text.
This is useful, for example, for viewing the
JSON files that are output by Goldie's [$pageTitle|Parse$] tool.
</p>

<p>
<span style="font-weight: bold">Using the Parse Tree Mode:</span>
Click a tree node in the left panel to highlight the corresponding section of text.
Click a location in the text and then click "Jump to Node" to select
the corresponding node.
</p>

<p>
Source code and Visual C# 2008 Express project files are included.
Note that unlike Goldie, JsonViewer is licensed under the
[$link| http://jsonviewer.codeplex.com/license | Microsoft Community License (Ms-CL) v1.1 $].
</p>

<p>
The main JsonViewer executable is here:<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[$code|inline|{Main Goldie Directory}\JsonViewer\JsonView.exe$]
</p>

<p>
A from-scratch rewrite in D is planned.
</p>

<p>
<span style="font-weight: bold">Note:</span>
This program has some trouble with very large JSON files. So when using it with
[$pageTitle|Parse$], keep in mind that parse trees tend to get very large,
very fast.
