jgd: JSON Graphics Device

A graphics device that translates R plotting operations into JSON and streams them over a local connection to an external display application. The device acts as a pure recorder with no rendering dependencies; all rendering occurs in that application (e.g. a 'VS Code' extension or a web browser). Official display applications are available from the project homepage.
