This module is an odd-duck we needed for a specific use-case where we were managing the interface for a very large custom entity with a JS based front-end.
We wanted to support the visual field grouping offered in and manage fields UI of a custom entity. We needed this group context conveyed to our front-end JS library which would use the field grouping information to group our fields for display (we happened to be using Angular JS).
This module connects the Field Group module's utility API call 'field_group_info_groups()' to return a useful array which our AngularJS app will consume and render fields from.
Until this module has an official release it should be considered experimental and maybe not the best idea to deploy.
