JsonViewer Updated

Some folks pointed out that the JsonViewer installer was complaining about being on the wrong version of AIR. That was because I wrote it before AIR went 1.0. So I thought "no problem, just re-compile it." Well sort of.

I updated Flex Builder 3 to the GA version and updated AIR to 1.0. I imported the old project. It picked up my Subversion settings and what not, very nice. I did a new "export release version" and it worked just fine. I tried to execute the .air file and it bombed. It told me that my AIR file was damaged.

WTF!? I tried to run the app directly from Flex Builder. It did nothing. No errors, just nothing. So I tried debugging. Then I finally got an error message about using the wrong version of AIR. I opened up the JsonView-app.xml. There was no "setting" in here for AIR version, but then I saw this

<application xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/application/1.0.M6">

Yep the .M6 was killing me. I removed it from the XML namespace declaration, and voila! Everything worked perfectly. Show your appreciation for my pain by downloading JsonViewer.

New Version of JsonViewer: Now Open Source!

I updated the JsonView AIR app I wrote a couple of months ago. It has wound up being pretty useful for some of the folks I work with, hence there have been some bug fixes new features requested. I have also had some folks email me about the source code. So as a result of these two things, not only did I update the app, but I released it as open source via Google Code.

So you can get the latest version here, or you can check out the source code for yourself. I was almost embarrassed to show the source because it so trivial!
