Generating a GUI from generated JSON schema

Raw

To run a model, you need a configuration. The structure of a configuration consists of various Go structures, maps, and other types. We use a fork (with only minor changes) of github.com/alecthomas/jsonschema to generate a JSON schema for model configurations. For one GUI, we then use github.com/json-editor/json-editor to generate a complex HTML/Javascript configuration form dynamically from that JSON schema. A Go program serves the HTML and Javascript, and that program also runs then model. The model output is rendered using d3js.org.
