confusion between ldjson and json-ld

[max-mapper]

thought I'd open an issue to spark discussion over naming, since http://json-ld.org/ is relatively popular

has naming been through the bikeshedding process yet? is it worth discussing?

[pfrazee]

for a spec, I'd argue the name deserves attention

Some suggestions:

• jsonlets
• jsons
• json-parts
• json-lines

[juliangruber]

json-lines is cute

[pfrazee]

• multi-json
• json-list
• json-onandon

[thlorenz]

• json-rows
• jsonr
• rjson
• rson (pronounced arson)
• jr (pronounced jar)

I quite like json-lines too. The only thing it's missing is the emphasis on 0x0a being the separator. (Though parsing must be tolerant of 0x0d0a. Can we forget 0x0a0d these days?)

I've talked with @maxogden about a less confusing name. We feel like ndjson is a good choice, because it is already used sometimes and similar to ldjson, but can not be confused with json-ld. I started thinking about doing a spec over here https://github.com/finnp/ndjson-spec/issues/1, by coincident using a very similar repository name :).

today when I google "ldjson" over half of the results are for json-ld, and lots of people in the open data world that I've tried to talk to about ldjson get confused as they have already heard of json-ld. these are the reasons I'm in favor of 'ndjson'

renamed to ndjson Renaming of Repos etc will be done soon
