AxChecker

What is it?

The source code of AxChecker is available on GitHub. AxChecker is a helper application for checking json files used in WidgetBuilder to create forms in listener and agent plugins in Adaptix. AxChecker parses a JSON file, creates a dialog box based on it, and outputs data that will be sent to the Adaptix server.

The image of the near window is built according to the configuration file _ui_agent.json. In the main window, AXChecker displays the data entered in the dialog box.

Format

The JSON file must contain this structure, which includes the required layout and elements fields.

{
  "layout": "vlayout",
  "elements": [
    {
      "type": <TYPE>,
      ...
    },
    {
      "type": <TYPE>,
      ...
    },
    ...
  ]
}

All input elements have an id property. This field contains the name of the parameter in which the entered data will be sent to the server in JSON format.

Example

{
  "layout": "glayout",
  "elements": [
    {
      "type": "label",
      ": "Text"
    },
    {
      "type": "input",
      "id": "message",
    }
  ]
}

For example, for this JSON file, the following request will be generated and sent to the server:

{
    "message: "<INPUT HERE>"
}
