Replace debugging protocols by javascript API

XMLWordPrintable

      Idea is to replace the explicit protocols implemented e.g. by QDeclarativeObserverService, QDeclarativeEngineDebugServer by a JavaScript API that can be explored by sending over JavaScript snippets from the debugging client to the server, and send the results back. Similar to the Python GDB interface.

      Description of current protocols

      Other things

      Use QByteArray instead of QString (makes debugger log more readable)
