This project aim to provide a straight forward interface in ncurses to control connmand. See connman's home page: https://connman.net
"json" in the project name refers to the underlying data structure: json objects with libjson.

It's usable (yeah !) but all of connman functionality isn't implemented.
Connman terminology:
"technology" The physical medium of connection, e.g. ethernet, wifi...
"service" What you can connect to, e.g. wireless access point, LAN...
Here is a list of what you can currently do (tested with wifi and ethernet):
- connect a technology to a service
- disconnect a technology
- modify some of the service configurations
- force a scan of surrounding wifi access points
- toggle technology power state
- toggle connman "OfflineMode"
- re-size the terminal
- remove saved information on a service (e.g. wifi passphrase, favorite...)
Note that those functionalities are enough for daily operations but don't cover everything connman has to offer.
Furthermore, improvements, bug fixes and all are welcome!
See packaging/ for packages, currently Tizen (OpenSUSE) and Archlinux are packaged.
Building the project is as simple as running run-me.sh, to run ./connman_json.
You will need autotools and development packages for:
- dbus
- ncurses
- libjson
My build environment is OpenSUSE 13.1 x86_64 with:
- libjson0 and libjson0-devel 0.10-3.1.2
- libdbus-1-3 and dbus-1-devel 1.7.4-4.16.1
- libncurses6 and ncurses-devel 5.9-33.1.2
