I spent hours last night racking my brain about building a json file for this software I am doing, not necessarily building the json file but using it the way I wanted in my calling function. I am building a mobile bus schedule using Lua/Corona SDK. We wanted to use json to be able to update info easily without having to recompile and resubmit an app to the stores for each new schedule update.
I ended up writing some javascript using photoshops extendedscript api and using the the data we pass to the function to generate an appropriate image. This allows us to use Corona SDKs built in image downloading function to update schedules as we need.
Although this isn't the best solution - I like it because it is pretty hacky.
Although the script isn't 100 % perfect I am adding it in to this message for your pleasure/convenience
Thanks to bad_brain for helping me solve a problem in the code.

If you wish to try this out make sure you select Photoshop from the extendscript interface

Re: Photoshop CS6 ExtendedScript - Generate a Grid.
Looking good!
Re: Photoshop CS6 ExtendedScript - Generate a Grid.
How far does Extendscript go? can it be used for real-time generation or is it simply a means to automate image generation?

Re: Photoshop CS6 ExtendedScript - Generate a Grid.
I was wondering that myself. I know Adobe has it's online/cloud (not Creative cloud it was something different) based photoshop platform. Which allowed you to do some things, edits, colour correction etc.
I will look into this further.
