What "view" means here is still undefined in 0.1.0. Keeping in mind the scope here and that we want to deliver an MVP, this could be limited to a simple text view or it could be the more full featured hex viewer.

This post is interesting https://github.com/jw3/example-daffodil-vscode/issues/7#issuecomment-856877857

For a parse operation I presume this would be the input file being parsed. If so this view should support seeing that file in a number of different format/encodings: binary/hex, ASCII, Unicode (UTF-8 & UTF-16, minimally).

For an unparse operation I assume this would be the InfoSet.

I think the backend will need to send a custom event that details the current position within the data file.
