The idea I have for it is to resolves some of the remaining issues regarding the use of keys and particularly navigation with cursor movement keys, which is common in 5250 but rare in HTML. Where I saw the biggest issues was in text editing, like using SEU. Made it a challenge to navigate. If I went with JSON and a small JS library at the browser to do the rendering, then we might have a GUI and a non-GUI mode where you could choose to either render the entire 5250 screen or just send the field references and keystrokes. The latter method could be used to enter and retrieve data from a 5250 program using AJAX "behind the scenes" without a traditional 5250 front end. You could "modernize" a 5250 application by using JSON/AJAX behind a browser app. Might be useful. Anyway, I HOPE to have some time in the future to check it out and do some experimenting and prototyping. Right now I am too busy to do much more than give it an occasional "think".
