Update 2020-01-14: Honeybee Viewer is up

[theo-armour]

Hi Honeybees

https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-viewer/

We are up with three scripts. The preferred or 'canonical' links are:

https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-viewer/honeybee-schema-viewer-3d/

View data in 3D with the Three.js renderer

https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-viewer/honeybee-schema-viewer/

View Honeybee JSON as a text only tree view

https://www.ladybug.tools/honeybee-viewer/json-tree-viewer/

Demos and tests for the script used to create the tree views.

The last two are much refactored, simplified, modularized since last week. The next update will bring the 3D viewer up to date.

---

BTW, i plan to use GitHub issues for a fair amount of communication

There are a number of good reasons for thisL

• The content is public and searchable by Google
• A good amount of issues is an indication that a repo is active and maintained
• It's designed for and by programmers for use by programmers
• Many peeps are familiar with the UI, and are already registered GitHub users
• There are a ton of features and and more are added regularly

Hi @theo-armour, Thank you for posting this. The viewer looks pretty good.

Can you help me to understand the difference between honeybee-schema-viewer and json-tree-viewer? They look very similar to me.

Also can we call honeybee-schema-viewer-3d as honeybee-3d-viewer? Not sure if we do need the word schema there. :)

Can you help me to understand the difference between honeybee-schema-viewer and json-tree-
viewer? They look very similar to me.

I am using Json tree viewer for building and testing just the tree viewer. the current version provides links to honeybee files as well as various JSON files from around the internet

The current honeybee-schema-viewer is currently almost identical but only offers access to the honeybee JSON files. I plan also to add special features that target just the honeybee schema. it may turn out however that this is not really a useful differentiation and we might be able to drop down just to two scripts.

Also can we call honeybee-schema-viewer-3d as honeybee-3d-viewer? Not sure if we do need the word schema there. :)

Can do. and quite a logical proposition is I expect that future generations of the viewer will be able to open up a multitude of file types.
