Questions regarding current JSON decoding choices

[ygini]

Hello

After reviewing the JSON file format pdf (https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/default/files/ehealth/docs/covid-certificate_json_specification_en.pdf) I have one question: nam/fn and nam/fnt are both reputed mandatories (Exactly 1 (one) non-empty field MUST be provided) but nam/fn is decoded as optional when nam/fnt is decoded a required, is there a reason for that?

Hi @ygini

The current definition of EUDCC.Name is based on a JSON schema I have downloaded from the EU server which states that there is only one required property fnt (see attached code snippet)

But you are correct that the JSON specification from https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/default/files/ehealth/docs/covid-certificate_json_specification_en.pdf declares different requirements 🤔

So I think it would be best fitting to change the requirements based on the covid-certificate_json_specification_en.pdf. Additionally I will try to check if there is a way to find the most current JSON specification requirements for the EU Digital COVID Certificate as most of the links I have stored are no longer reachable to download the JSON specification files 😅
