BGL and jsoncanvas #14

Open dglazkov opened 7 months ago

dglazkov commented 7 months ago

Over in the Breadboard project, we have a BGL format that looks surprisingly similar to json canvas. BGL JSON schema is here.

I wonder if there's an opportunity to unify or at least bring them closer together?

See breadboard-ai/breadboard#1034

It looks like BGL graphs are no spatial graphs (graphs with information about position of nodes on a plane) so its more like one of the many graph formats out there but not JSON Canvas in particular.

Thanks for the pointer to the pgraphs repo! Love all the work happening there.

In your opinion, what is the value of the distinction between spatial and non-spatial graph formats? In other words, why is it significant to make that distinction at the format level? If I squint a bit, I can see all of these being cousins or dialects of each other. And I am not certain about the need to hold that distinction firmly.
