Jdrop – JSON in the cloud

Performance Wonk Steve Souders has announced Jdrop – described as a JSON repository in the cloud. It builds on his work with Mobile Perf javaScript meta-bookmarklets that can work as profilers for mobile devices. Bookmarklets gather data and display data. The data can be saved to Jdrop. For analysis. Souders blogs:

It was pretty simple to insert a step to save the data to Jdrop. The bookmarklet’s display code is easily re-used by wrapping the data in JSON and passing it back to the display code inside Jdrop’s web page. That, in a nutshell, is Jdrop.

Meanwhile, Thomas Fuchs has added Jdrop to his DOM Monster bookmarklet. JDrop is alpha mode, reminds Souders.
