Which draft is the most supported version of ubjson? #101

Closed fangq closed 4 years ago

fangq commented 5 years ago

I just finished a drafted file specification, JData, to store/interchange scientific data using JSON and UBJSON constructs. The current draft of this specification is located at

https://github.com/fangq/jdata/blob/master/JData_specification.md

The binary format of JData is based on a slightly modified UBJSON. I cited Draft 12 in the binary grammar section, but I want to make sure it is still the "canonical" version that has the widest supported.

The minor modification is the extension of optimized array header to support N-D array, which I proposed back in 2013 (implemented in my jsonlab toolbox but not adopted upstream)
