Sculpin: Direct-Manipulation Transformation of JSON
summary
Sculpin is a direct-manipulation environment that records step-by-step JSON transformations into a reusable program, emphasizing sculptable selections, small precise actions, and operations directly on JSON. The authors convert an art-festival API response into GeoJSON and successfully map it, build a reactive gallery by loading the Art Institute API response and turning fields into embedded interface elements, and create a persistent to‑do app whose button behavior is recorded and replays. The paper reports a heuristic analysis and flags editing preexisting demonstrations as a limitation.
