JSON is so pervasive that a base Pharo image should have things named after it.
STON is supercool but there is no JSON name in it, that's an issue for me.

Since STON can read and emit JSON I do not get the problem?

Discoverability. See Sven other mail.

What would be a good way to do that? I wonder.

In the same vein, in Angular, consuming webservices that have a "proper" REST API (if there is such a thing, but still, this is nice) is easy with Restangular (https://github.com/mgonto/restangular). Not having such a thing has costed me much time during hackathons, during which competition using it was wrapping webservices at the speed of light while I was plodding along.

Is there such a thing in Pharo?

Seaside REST

No: this is for exposing endpoints, not consuming them. See Restangular.

Teapot

No: same.

I use SeasideREST and Teapot BTW.

Pretty nice!

I'm taking note of such small gems in an interactive
[grafoscopio](http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~Offray/Grafoscopio/) notebook.
When they take the form of such notebooks I don't know how they should
be credited... any suggestions?

Cheers,

Offray

Hi,

The last version of the tutorial grafoscopio notebook now includes these cool examples (credit is done with a Thanks line). Here is a cool preview ;-):

You can get this interactive documentation by installing grafoscopio [1] and then choosing from the docking bar "Actualizar > Documentación > Tutorial" (Sorry, for now interface and documentation are only in Spanish)

Thanks for these great examples, they're a nice addition to the interactive documentation.

Cheers,

Looks cool. I wonder if this would make a good basis for the main Image help system?

I know you are busy but me too.
So what do you mean consuming them?

Phil is simply pointing out that if someone will look for JSON, the first thing that person will try will be to type “JSON” in Spotter and expect to find something for it. So, now there is a class called STONJSON.

That would certainly close the circle, because I used Help System source code as an inspiration on how tree-like documentation could be implemented inside the image, but adding more interactivity and flexibility. In the attachment you can see the piece where I talk about this and full text is in [1].

Pharo allows me to explore old ideas [2] about exploratory computing, interactive documents and writing

Thanks for that :-),
