[Haskell-cafe] Simple GUI library to view JSON?

[dokondr]

Thanks, it is a good idea to use JSONView. Yet I also want to reuse this
code to view lists of objects in MongoDB collection. MongoDB objects are in
fact JSON, so the same code should work. I am not sure though that saving
MongoDB objects in intermediate JSON and then displaying them in JSONView
would be the best way to go.
