+CubeJSONPlugin
+
+
+CubeJSONPlugin is a plugin for the CubeGUI tool that visualizes the system tree structure in JSON format. It is designed to provide a user-friendly way to explore and interact with the hierarchical data within Cube performance analysis files.
+
+Features:
+
+- Adds a custom tab to CubeGUI called "System Tree JSON."
+
+- Visualizes the system tree structure in a JSON-like format.
+
+- Provides interactive features such as tree item selection and display updates.
+
+- Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing CubeGUI installations.
+
+Prerequisites
+-To build and use this plugin, you will need:
+
+CubeGUI: Version 4.9 or later.
+
+Qt: Version 5.x or later.
+
+C++ Compiler: Compatible with the version of Qt and CubeGUI you are using.
+
+CMake (preferred) or qmake for building the project.
+
+Installation
+Step 1: Build the Plugin
+Clone this repository to your local machine:
+
+bash
+git clone https://github.com/ar16048/CubeJSONPlugin.git
+cd CubeJSONPlugin
+Build the plugin using CMake:
+
+bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake ..
+make
+Alternatively, if you prefer qmake:
+
+bash
+qmake
+make
+Step 2: Deploy the Plugin
+Locate the built shared library file (e.g., libCubeJsonPlugin.so for Linux).
+
+Copy the file to the Cube plugin directory:
+
+bash
+sudo cp libCubeJsonPlugin.so /opt/cube/lib64/plugins/
+Step 3: Verify Installation
+Launch CubeGUI in verbose mode to verify the plugin is loaded:
+
+bash
+cube -verbose
+Check for any errors during the plugin loading process. If successful, the plugin will appear as a new tab in the Cube interface.
+
+Usage
+Open a Cube file in CubeGUI.
+
+Navigate to the "System Tree JSON" tab to explore the system tree structure visualized in JSON format.
+
+Click on system tree items to see their details dynamically updated in the interface.
+
+Development
+If you'd like to contribute or modify the plugin, follow these steps:
+
+Modify the source files in the src/ directory.
+
+Rebuild the plugin by running the build commands mentioned above.
+
+Test the plugin using CubeGUI.
+
+Troubleshooting
+Plugin Not Loading: Ensure the plugin was built with the same compiler and configuration options as CubeGUI.
+
+Missing Dependencies: Verify that all required Qt and Cube development libraries are installed.
+
+Error Messages: Run CubeGUI in verbose mode (cube -verbose) to identify potential issues.
