Develop a "wire-level" telemetry protocol #22

Closed vkottler closed 6 years ago

vkottler commented 6 years ago

We intend to use WebSocket to stream data from an arbitrary backend / data source to our UI.

We need to choose a serialized data format to send over this interface. JSON or another ASCII representation is probably simpler than some kind of binary format but work on this protocol should include a basic demo of streaming data to the UI from a program running on another device (any arbitrary language)

The protocol should be particularly good at handling changes in the schema of the data being received on the fly

Yeah makes sense. Initially I was thinking JSON, do you think that is still feasible or what?

vkottler commented 6 years ago

I think JSON is definitely viable. This work would include coming up with a flexible schema to use on top of JSON

I ended up going in a completely different direction for this to support the embedded case (telemetry over radios at 115200 baud). Hoping to have a demo soon

This is now scoped to an entire separate repository
