Using the Context Viewer

The Context Viewer is a context application designed to help developers intercept and analyze the context messages sent from the applications.

The Context Viewer displays the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) messages sent in-context from the application. The messages are displayed in two formats in the context application on these tabs:

JSON Object View tab
Contains a version of the JSON string that is parsed, formatted, and readable.
JSON Text View tab
Contains the JSON message in the format sent by the application.

At the bottom of the context application, the Status is displayed. If the status displays Not Subscribed for any messages, the context application is not receiving messages in-context.

This table shows the supported message types:
