Consider vdom to create a neat jupyter frontend for weldx files.

See discussion jupyterlab/jupyterlab#3200

that would be very neat, no idea how complex this is

[marscher]

It seems vdom is not bidirectional. It only support creating objects in the clients DOM tree, but there is no way to communicate with them. So this approach is not suitable.

[CagtayFabry]

it might be worth looking into that for a custom weldx header representer

maybe we take a look in to how xarray does theirs

[marscher]

In XArray they render the output as HTML with a custom CSS attached. This only works, if the notebook is trusted and makes it mandatory to ship additional files within the Python package. Eventually it would be possible to re-use some of their code/design for having a nice interface (combined header and data display). I'm currently unsure, if one could encapsulate CSS declarations in the body section, but I'd doubt it.

thank you for the insight!
the "trusted" part for many of these implementations is an issue I also stumbled upon while playing around with some other HTML examples
