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 Unix socket with telnet like interface is nice, but a bit outdated when you like at todays available technologies.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 ;) Jerome. On Thu, Jun 30, 2011 at 12:20, Matthew Walster <matthew@walster.org> wrote:

Does anybody know about an open-source looking-glass for BIRD ?
I'm hoping by "open-source" you mean "open-source" as opposed to free... </bugbear>
The only one I'm aware of is:
