REBL
REBL is a graphical, interactive tool for browsing Clojure data. REBL is extracted from Datomic tools developed by the Datomic Team at Cognitect, and is available for non-commercial use (per the EULA) free of charge. We hope that many Clojure developers will find it useful.
Features
- A two-pane browser/viewer system for viewing collections and their contents
- Navigation into and back out of nested collections
- A structured editor pane for entering expressions to be evaluated
- A root browse of a history of expression evaluations
- The ability to 'wrap' a stdio based REPL (e.g. Clojure's native REPL) so that it can monitor and display the interactions therein, while still allowing them to flow back to the host (e.g. the editor)
- When used with non-stdio repls (e.g. nREPL), can be launched a la carte and accepts values to inspect via an API call
- The ability to capture nested values as defs in the user namespace
- The ability to run multiple independent UI windows
- Metadata viewing
- Datafy support
- Extensibility to new browsers and viewers
- Full keyboard control via hotkeys
REBL runs in your application JVM process, and can be used at dev-time without adding any runtime deps. The UI is written in JavaFX.
