JSON XOP for Igor Pro¶
This documents an external operation code module (XOP) for WaveMetrics Igor Pro developed by byte physics. The XOP aims at supporting the convenient creation and interaction with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) objects from within Igor Pro.
JSON is a format for exchanging data between applications. Almost all web applications today use a standardized JSON API for the communication between different layers. JSON is also used for the structural storage of data and properties without the need of creating strict database table definitions which are, for example, useful for the design of graphs or the interaction of measurement programs with graphical user interfaces. The purpose of this XOP is to enable Igor Pro to communicate with other programs using JSON format.
Download and Installation¶
The XOP is developed and tested for Igor Pro 8 on Windows and MacOSX. It is also signed and notarized to work with MacOSX 10.15 (Catalina).
