File Definitions

Jiffy parses files based on file, record, and field definitions stored in definition files. To add your own file/record formats, do the following:

1. Create a definition JSON file under app/file-definitions.

• This defines the record and field layouts for your file type.
• See the existing json files as examples.
• Use JSONLint to verify that your definitions are well-formed.

2. Edit definition-names.txt and add your filename to it.
3. Refresh Jiffy in the browser and start editing your files!
