Looking-Glass

[Jérôme Fleury]

I would definitely support a JSON output for Bird. Embedding an http
server shouldn't be very difficult, and would allow anyone to build
its own looking glass using simple javascript.

It's actually what I did for FranceIX: a Bird to JSON wrapper sits on
the route-server, and then I just proxy request from an Apache server
to pretty print everything. The most complicated part was to write the
JSON wrapper, not the front-end. Unix socket with telnet like
interface is nice, but a bit outdated when you like at todays
available technologies.

My 2 cents ;)
