Cross-collaboration with JSON5 #53

Closed DonaldTsang closed 5 years ago

DonaldTsang commented 5 years ago

Recently there has been a new JSON spec being drafted, might be a good idea to discuss in regards to binary data encodings. https://github.com/json5/json5/issues/190

CBOR has its own diagnostic format derived from JSON (as defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#section-6 with recent extensions documented in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8610#appendix-G ). https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049#section-6 also mentions YAML as a text-based format for representing CBOR data items in configuration files. I'm not sure that the various recent xjsonx efforts add anything useful to these well-established specifications.

It is good to have some communications in regards to redesigns I think, even if it is unorthodox compared to RFCs
