Summary

This MR adds the feature of loading JSON Files into the ChatGrid visualization tool. A user can see a set of pre-configured compatible JSON files for visualization and also an user can upload the json file for visualization.

• Please update README file with instructions how to use the updated version.
• Please provide/identify JSON files that can be used out of box.

The update breaks the old process documented in the viz/README file. If I follow that, I get following error:

SyntaxError: The string did not match the expected pattern.

I can still open the file and view the visualization but the error message is confusing and the instructions are misleading.

[pelesh]

The color scheme for transmission lines seems to be broken. Most of the lines are in black, which is not in the legend. This needs to be fixed before merging. Please follow @tsybinae recommendation there. I will mark this as draft until we fix the outstanding issues.

It is great that separated active and reactive power flow are shown separately. I suggest renaming "Power flow" to active power flow. Instead of animation, I suggest adding arrows to show direction of the power flow.

There was a static list of file files that is assumed to be in the data folder. Replaced it using a dynamic list which will list all json files in the data folder. The json files in the data folders will be assumed to contain only compatible visualized json case files. I have moved counties.json file to another folder so all json files in the data folder is a valid case file.

I don't seem to reproduce this issue. Maybe the updates pushed to this branch will fix this.

This PR was also supposed to show Arrows by default and when you check the Animation, it can turn Arrows to Animation. Please check whether this work as intended. I have renamed "Flow" To "Active Power Flow"
