JSON Discoverer

URL: http://atlanmod.github.io/json-discoverer/

Given a set of JSON documents, the tool (distributed as an open source Eclipse plugin contributed to MoDisco) returns a model describing their implicit schema. We follow an iterative process where new JSON documents (from the same or different services within the API) contribute to enrich the generated model. The model helps to both understand single services and to infer possible relationships between them, thus suggesting possible compositions and providing an overall view of the application domain. The tool has also been released as a web site, thus allowing any web developer to use our approach without the need of installing Eclipse.
