Cross collaboration with JSON5 #105

Open DonaldTsang opened 5 years ago

DonaldTsang commented 5 years ago

There are others who would like to write a new specification for a new a JSON. Might be a good idea to discuss in regards to binary encoding. https://github.com/json5/json5/issues/190

@rkalla Did you see that?

rkalla commented 4 years ago

I did - this isn't something I have the capacity to take on though. I'm sorry.

@rkalla what do you mean by "take on"? It would be great to talk about some of your opinions, not necessarily contributing code.

edgar-bonet commented 4 years ago

The aim of JSON5 is to be a more human-readable flavor of JSON. UBJSON is binary, quite the opposite of human-readable. These projects are way too far in scope for any collaboration to be meaningful.

DonaldTsang commented 4 years ago

@edgar-bonet I would say that between these should a rise a new meta-JSON standard that covers both binary and "human" JSON in some way (maybe interchangable conversions?).

DylanYoung commented 1 year ago

I think the main thing here would be that ubjson can support the additional constructs in JSON5 (and existing semi- standard json parsers). In particular, comments for round-tripping and debugging. It doesn't look off the top like any other feature of json5 requires additions to ubjson.
