Description
I know the CLI exist to browse and perform operations in the management API and its definitely awesome, but it has some severe limitations.
1) It requires you to have AS7 installed
2) I can't access it within a browser
3) It requires upfront DMR knowledge to get to the information
4) I cannot link to it for sharing information to my peers (this could be partially handled by command line but then we are back to 1 & 2)
Similar the current admin console is not sufficient for all cases since it does not allow you to see parts of the DMR model that the admin console does not have UI support for yet.
Thus I suggest we get a way to browse the DMR model to provide a way to read and understand the model by simply browsing it then users can use that info to start getting more into the CLI approach. And even when you got the CLI approach handled, just being able to click through and browse the content would be a tremendous help. The console could even be able to generate/show the paths and proper syntax to perform operations via the CLI.
And the CLI could be able to open a webbrowser for a certain segment for more interactive browsing.
Similar tools like JBoss Tools could link to this DMR browser for nice navigation.
next steps could be to also support doing CLI-like operations in the browser but that is not the urgent need.
