Serial Port JSON Client

Is there a client for Windows &/or Mac OS that can connect to a Serial Port JSON Server?

I would like to have the ability to use other programs at times with my CNC Router by connecting to my Serial Port JSON Server on my Raspberry Pi.

I love using ChiliPeppr, but I also like option to use other control software. Additionally I would like to use Serial Port JSON Server to connect to my 3D printer and control it. To do this I would need my Macbook to connect over a virtual serial connection to my 3D printer.

A Serial Port JSON Client for my workstation [Macbook w/ macOS], that I can use to connect to another computer that is running Serial Port JSON Server.

So, on your Mac, you just load ChiliPeppr and connect to your ws://localhost or you connect to ws://(your raspberry pi ip) and presto, you have what you're after (i think).

For connecting to your 3d printer, it would seem that the more important is whether you can send Gcode to it from ChiliPeppr. That would be more dependent on your firmware you're using. Not many people use ChiliPeppr for 3d printing. They tend to use Octoprint.
