atomizer

Atomizer is an s-expression visualization tool.

Online link for testing Atomizer is here.

about the project

In computer programming, an S-expression (or symbolic expression, abbreviated as sexpr or sexp) is an expression in a like-named notation for nested list (tree-structured) data. S-expressions were invented for and popularized by the programming language Lisp, which uses them for source code as well as data. Atomizer graphically displays S-expressions in an interactive, fractally structured system of ovals.

application specifics

The application is consisted of two panes. Left pane resembles input prompt for entering S-expressions. Multiline input is obtained by holding shift while hitting enter. Standard pasting S-expressions from clipboard should also work fine. History of previously entered S-expressions is accessed by pressing up and down arrows. On hitting enter on its own in the input pane, if valid, inputted S-expression is sent to the right pane visualizer. Please refer to built in application instructions for info about navigating visualizer (the bottom-right questionmark).

installing and running the application

To install Atomizer, download this package, unzip it to a folder of your choice, and open included index.html from a web browser. There is no build procedure, there are no third party dependencies, and the application should work as it is, even from a local file system.
