JSON Schema and SVG to GFX Articles
David Walsh of SitePen has authored a pair of articles this week about various Dojo-related topics:
- JSON Validation with JSON Schema discusses the general topic of JSON Schema, and how to use it for validation in general, with dojox.json.schema, and with CommonJS-Utils, part of Dojo Foundation project Persevere, on top of Node.js. JSON Schema is growing in popularity, for example, it’s used for Google Chrome’s extensions system.
- Generate Dojo GFX Drawings from SVG Files discusses exactly what the title says, a Dojo utility for converting SVG files to GFX format, and shows a nice SVG to GFX demo if you like the Arsenal. The October London Ajax video and web vector graphics slides also offer recent discussion around GFX.
How to File a Dojo Bug Report
If you’ve found an issue with Dojo, filing a bug is simple:
- Create an account (to reduce spam)
- File a bug
We encourage you to be as specific as possible about your issue. Note that you do NOT need to file a CLA to tell us about a bug, but we do require a CLA if you want to provide a patch or fix that will make its way into Dojo.
