T-Rex JSON Template
===================

Whenever T-Rex is publishing live data, it uses JSON notation to describe the data-object.

Each client may parse it diffrently, however this page will describe the values meaning when published by T-Rex server.


Main Fields
-----------

Each T-Rex server-published JSON object contains data divided to main fields under which the actual data lays.

These main fields are:

+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
| Main field                  | Contains                                           | Comments                  |
+=============================+====================================================+===========================+
| :ref:`trex-global-field`    | Must-have data on T-Rex run,                       |                           |
|                             | mainly regarding Tx/Rx and packet drops            |                           |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
| :ref:`tx-gen-field`         | Data indicate the quality of the transmit process. |                           |
|                             | In case histogram is zero it means that all packets|                           |
|                             | were injected in the right time.                   |                           |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+
| :ref:`trex-latecny-field`   | Latency reports, containing latency data on        | - Generated when latency  |
|                             | generated data and on response traffic             |   test is enabled (``l``  |
|                             |                                                    |   param)                  |
|                             |                                                    | - *typo* on field key:    |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+   will be fixed on next   |   
| :ref:`trex-latecny-v2-field`| Extended latency information                       |   release                 |
+-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------+---------------------------+


Each of these fields contains keys for field general data (such as its name) and its actual data, which is always stored under the **"data"** key.

For example, in order to access some trex-global data, the access path would look like::

   AllData -> trex-global -> data -> desired_info
