Automatically Build JSON Messages with the WebhookMessage TradingView Library

Lots of people have a hard time making a proper JSON message for signals and alerts on TradingView, and they get confused when they see errors in their TradersPost log. To make it easier to create JSON messages, we made a tool in Pine Script that does it for you, so it works every time. Complete documentation and type hinting is available in TradingView as you create new messages.
