JsonToQt

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

⚠️ This documentation is possibly outdated or false! New documentation coming soon™️

---

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):

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "Your Name"
    },
    "age": {
      "type": "integer",
      "title": "Age",
      "minimum": 0,
      "maximum": 120
    },
    "bio": {
      "type": "string",
      "title": "Short Bio",
      "widget": "textarea"
    },
  }
}

Note that it must be a valid schema!

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

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

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

app = QApplication([])

# Create the form
form = JsonForm(schema)

form.show()

app.exec()
