Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] GSoC2013: JSONshark idea

[Hendrik Kunert <qkunerd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

my name is Hendrik and I plan to apply to GSoC2013. I'm from Germany and 
at the moment I study for the masters degree in computer science. I 
found the JSONshark project idea and I'm very interested to get some 
further informations about it, because it combines two of my favorites, 
C programming and web interface and JSON usage. So here are my questions 
and first ideas.
How should the communication between the Browser-Client and wireshark 
work? HTML?
Should the JSON message based interface be something like a REST 
webservice, because that was the first that came in to my mind as I read 
the summary? This approach could later also be used as remote interface 
to wireshark, or is this the initial intention?
For the Browser App I would suggest to use CoffeeScript together with 
Backbone.js and JQuery. Backbone is really great if used together with a 
REST interface. There is also a very good JavaScript testing framework 
called Jasmine, that works great together with the technologies above.

Thanks
Hendrik
