Using js, nodejs and json for the project? #6

Hi James, Have you ever thought the possibility to develop the whole project js-based (js, nodejs and json)?

Andreas,

Short answer is yes! In connection with thinking about IPFS as distributed publishing for prose objects - I did this "view" of the source. It's fake, but gives the idea:

@jbenet responded briefly to a discussion of integration. https://github.com/CommonAccord/Cmacc-Org/issues/16 (I think that the semantics of their links contains an error. It certainly contains a difference. The rest of their solution is so powerful and appropriate that it would be great to find the connection point. And if they are right, to incorporate that learning.)

More broadly, Prose Objects, and especially the high-volume data from specific transactions, will need to be in a variety of formats:

  1. The "source code" - lawyer-collaboration part probably is best in the current format which strongly resembles source code. It does not contain a bunch of quotes and unquotes, colons and commas to write a line. Much easier to read. This is not a religious statement, just a guess as to convenience. Interface can hide the complexity, but interface also intermediates - reduces touch and control.

  2. Transmitting individual transactions will often be in JSON - from Interledger (greatly underestimated) to Hyperledger.

  3. Management of large collections (e.g. internal operations at a bank or web-merchant) will be in databases. Many of those databases will be conventional. But Prose Objects are fundamentally a graph - I did a rough demo using Neo4j (more Scandinavians!), but I'm told that the graph community has moved on to other centers of gravity.

This is great. Jim
