Obtain curation data in JSON format

Single version

To obtain curation data of a single version of a software package in JSON format, the following REST calls may be used:

http://www.osselot.org:3262/json/<package>/<version>

or

https://www.osselot.org:3263/json/<package>/<version>

such as in a wget command

wget -qO - http://www.osselot.org:3262/json/dbus/1.15.2

All available versions of a software package

The command to obtain JSON formatted data of all available versions of a software package is very similar to the above except that the "version" part is not given such as

wget -qO - http://wwww.osselot.org:3262/json/dbus

Format JSON file in browser

If a browser supports display of JSON data either natively or after having installed an appropriate extension, JSON data may be rendered and interactively inspected using links such as DBus version 1.15.2 or even all curated versions of DBus.

(Please note that the above browser commands, particularly the second, may take a long time to render.)

For browsers with generic JSON support: Search for a package, select it, submit it to the REST interface for JSON formatted data and display the O curation data in a new window

(Same as above, some of the packages may take a long time to render. If the browser does not know how to handle JSON code, use the below OSADL built-in display version.)


If the browser does not generically support JSON display: Search for a package, select it, let the JSON formatted O curation data be validated for syntax correctness and colorified, and display the code in a new window

(Also same as above, some of the packages may take a long time to render.)
