The IESG has approved the following document: - 'JSON Encoding of Data Modeled with YANG' (draft-ietf-netmod-yang-json-10.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the NETCONF Data Modeling Language Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-netmod-yang-json/ Technical Summary This document defines encoding rules for representing configuration, state data, RPC operation or action input and output parameters, and notifications defined using YANG as JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) text. Working Group Summary The JSON encoding is one of the two media types supported by the RESTCONF protocol [draft-ietf-netconf-restconf]. This document was discussed multiple times during the RESTCONF specification process. The main issue has been around the encoding of the "anyxml" type, which YANG 1.1 no longer recommends using. The document went through 3 WG last calls, and there is broad consensus on the final version. Document Quality There are several existing RESTCONF implementations, and some others being worked on, that either support both XML and JSON encoding, or are JSON-only, for example: * YumaWorkâ??s YumaPro platform's SDK * Linux Foundationâ??s OpenDaylight platform * Juniperâ??s Contrail Service Orchestration platform Other tools and libraries also support the JSON encoding defined in this document, including: * The popular `pyang` utility * The libyang library Personnel The Shepherd is Kent Watsen.
