Dictionary Table

[TW_Tones]

First, of course we can check the type field, but then we need to determine the JSON format in use. I too am still struggling with this and how to tell the differences. There is however a pattern of prefix and suffix of the whole text field which should be able to tell us, the format in use.

We should be able to make a custom operator that checks in the text field has the prefix/suffix for each type and return a name representing each format. Allowing our different solutions to know how to access the different format.

Here is some prior art;

Conversion tools between the various tiddler and JSON formats

A response to this has being started by @pmario here How do TWs JSON Formats Look Like As discussed here Identify tiddlers installed by bookmarklet we have various forms of tiddler and tiddlers in a single tiddler formats and encoding, even within what we may call a JSON tiddler. We have some templates and widgets that handle some of these formats illustrated below; I would like to build a resource that documents these and the differences, such that we can document when and where they occur…

Discussion about: How do TWs JSON Formats Look Like

Thanks Mario for what I presume was in part a response to my topic Conversion tools between the various tiddler and JSON formats this is a very helpful resource. A matter arising; To assist conversions it would be helpful if we share some code to add or remove “wrappers” such as your documented [{ }] vs [ { } ] and { "tiddlers": { .... } } And/or point to the widgets that are involved. Noting that we need to be able to convert both simple and pretty forms, to an from.
