Muse vs Dreamweaver

[marks66406561]

Psd can be imported in muse and Dreamweaver.

with that being said.

I'm looking to load json directly into the files so the templates can look like a developers environment without technically being on the web.

My question is which app can actually support json within the app to give a real time feel of how the data will actually look like without running a web server.

You could load the site into a windiws server locally running a iis (or even a irc if you want old school) but I wouldn't want to set such a system up to talk to Muse sites

I am not sure about Muse, but talking Dreamweaver, only PSD assets (styling, text and images) can be used in Dreamweaver, not the PSD itself.

Dreamweaver is a glorified text processor that facilitates the writing of web related code, be it code that is interpreted on a server or code that is interpreted by the browser. To view the result of the code, the files need to be placed within a server environment

Now to answer your question, using Dreamweaver without a web server will give you the same results as Notepad will, in other words, just the raw code.

Correct me if i am wrong, but are you asking how to insert json data into a psd image for viewing in a browser?

If so, then it cannot be done, as browsers do not support the use of psd's. You could convert your image into a png file, and use it as a background image, then place your json data inside a div at the required position over the image, but this would only work in a desktop browser with the page width/height set to absolute values.

The above would fall apart if you tried to view it on a mobile device, (and quite possibly for many desktop users) as it would involve the user having to scroll, possibly both horizontally and vertically, just to try and find the data, (most users would not bother, and hit the back button).
