Basic idea is to use a little javascript and a specification object to generate a web gui/page on the fly
At the moment it’s very verbose, but the operations are all pretty much the same so it should be fairly easy to turn into function + array operators… /partly done, but very much wip
[weasb.js](https://nofile.io/f/Bc0Ae1m2E9A/weasb.js) can be included in a blank html page for a bit of a demo
The trick here will be to make writing/otherwise creating the spec object easier & more efficient than just writing the same in html

It is a bit unclear how this post relates to Julia…

Ah, it may eventually be able to be used in tandem with [jport and jgplot](https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Adiscourse.julialang.org+jgplot) or others as a flexible local-web ui for julia, this piece isn’t really specific to julia though.

[julia port](https://nofile.io/f/nhKn5OUMta4/jsdb.jl) of a [tiny js database](https://nofile.io/f/TkTqrg0a4fy/jsdb3.js) // datagraph w/ quirks
Supports simple [table, column] == value queries with `getcont()`, and fancier link lookups with `link_Cont()` using `getcont` and `getlink` recursions.
Partial restriction to 1:1 table-table connections (first nearest link only/ acyclic lookups), with many:many data-data connections supported (in theory/testing so far)
