Concept for settings/modes (per mode, general) -> JSON-Structure

[geofranzi]

Template

• meta: only non- writeable infos / descriptions for
  • component selection
  • settings description and info about default values (set fixed in the code - only expose infos here
  • variables: ALL variables from all modes explained once - can be used in different modes <- description only once!
  • modes
  • all different mode of input / output combination which would make sense
• edit / view section as template -> will be used as base once selected / mapped
