REST client app improvements

[guykatz]

Hi all;
one thing we are all accustomed to is persisted data visibility. in databases we just query the data using simple sql or tools that do that (outside our actual code)
in eclipse store, its an area that needs much improvement. we only have the REST client app which is very basic. such tools are needed not only by developers for debugging purposes but also by customer success departments on customer sites.
here are just 2 examples that illustrate the issues:

1. assume a big collection inside some object. if I am looking for a specific object within the collection, the current REST client app does not allow any such filtering, I would have to "open" each and every object in the collection to see if its the one i am looking for.
2. read only: there is no way to edit the data within the rest client application. in a situation where one needs to modify a simply string in a nested object there is no easy way of doing that.

there are a lot more examples like this...
I think such functionality should be an integral part of the eclipse store eco system and hopefully some advancements will be done by the community or the microstream guys.
growing this product needs a good base to operate it properly...

on a side note, vaadin, I believe, is not that widely used. I am a java deveper but would preffer a web interface based on one of the big frameworks(e.g: vue js) or pure js implementation as oposed to a java code to html component framework...
thanks!
