Convert JSON schemas into dynamic PySide6 GUI forms with no manual UI coding needed.

JsonToQt

Convert JSON schemas into dynamic PySide6 GUI forms - no manual UI coding needed!

---

Overview

JsonToQt lets you define Qt-based forms declaratively in JSON. It parses the schema and generates forms with:

• Buttons, radio buttons, checkboxes
• Combo boxes, line edits, text edits
• Spin boxes (int & double), and labels
• Built-in support for wiring button callbacks by name

Use JsonToQt to speed up GUI prototyping, build dynamic config panels, or integrate with low-code workflows.

---

Features

• Supports common PySide6 widgets from a JSON schema
• Bind button callbacks by name to Python functions
• Easily extendable for more widgets or custom behaviors
• Simple to use with minimal dependencies (just PySide6)

---

Installation

pip install jsontoqt

---

Usage

Define your form schema (example.json):

{
  "title": "User Registration",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "username": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "Username"
    },
    "submit": {
      "widget": "button",
      "text": "Submit",
      "callback": "on_submit"
    }
  }
}

Import JsonToQt and create a form

Usage

Define your form schema (example.json):

{ "title": "User Registration", "type": "object", "properties": { "username": { "type": "string", "title": "Username" }, "submit": { "widget": "button", "text": "Submit", "callback": "on_submit" } } }

Load the schema, create the form, bind callbacks, and run the app:

import json
from pathlib import Path
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication
from jsontoqt import JsonForm

# Load the JSON schema from file
schema_path = Path("example.json")
with schema_path.open("r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    schema = json.load(f)

def on_submit():
    print("Submit button clicked!")

def on_cancel():
    print("Cancel button clicked!")

app = QApplication([])

# Create the form
form = JsonForm(schema)

# Bind callbacks from JSON to Python functions
form.bind_callbacks({
    "on_submit": on_submit,
    "on_cancel": on_cancel,
})

form.show()

app.exec()
