Free Serial Port Monitor allows you to intercept, display and analyze all data exchanged between the Windows application and the serial device. It can be successfully used in application development, device driver or serial hardware development and offers the powerful platform for effective coding, testing and optimization.

Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your computer and the Internet. Fiddler allows you to inspect all HTTP(S) traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle" with incoming or outgoing data. Fiddler includes a powerful event-based scripting subsystem, and can be extended using any .NET language.

Fiddler is freeware and can debug traffic from virtually any application, including Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and thousands more.

An I thought the Fiddler name was a metaphor for the bow going back an forth like HTTP messages.

I'm working on a project that uses data in JSON format  (www.json.org).  It took me a while to get it going in processing, so I thought I'd post what I did here.  If there's a better way (which undoubtedly there is!), please let me know.

Here are the steps I took (on Windows):

1.  Download http://www.json.org/java/json.zip from json.org.  Save it in a some directory, which I'll call %DOWNLOAD_HOME%.

2.  Unzip it.  Be sure you preserve the archive's directory structure (/org/json/) when you unzip the file.  

3.  Change directory into %DOWNLOAD_HOME%orgjson

When I push [my toaster] lever down, if there's a crumb stuck in the coils, it isn't long before my fragile pre-coffee state is shattered by the piercing siren of my smoke detector. It doesn't know about the toast, but really it should. If it were sociable, as soon as it detected particulate matter in the air, it would query the toaster to see if it had been activated. That would tell it that in all likelihood, it wasn't detecting an unattended, middle-of-the-night fire but instead a benign morning meal. The price of low-power radio networking and the just-minted funding for smart home energy networks makes this sociable smoke-detector scenario entirely within our reach. I want one.
