The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Representing DNS Messages in JSON' (draft-hoffman-dns-in-json-16.txt) as Informational RFC This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Alexey Melnikov. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hoffman-dns-in-json/ Technical Summary This document defines a mapping of DNS messages into JSON; it allows for conversion to and from the DNS binary message format. It defines the expected JSON syntax for the common properties within a DNS message, a mechanism for encoding binary data without representation, and a common mechanism to specify a query/response pair. The data format allows for future extensibility, such as additional type-specific values. Working Group Summary This is not a WG document, however MILE WG has considered referencing this document in the past. Document Quality This document received reviews from those versed in the DNS and applications with little controversy. There have been some comments made on its generic nature; the document explicitly states it provides a mapping without opinions, and applications of this data format are allowed and encouraged to constrain it for their needs. Personnel Matthew Miller is the document shepherd. Alexey Melnikov is the responsible AD. RFC Editor Note Based on IESG review feedback the document status was changed from Experimental to Informational.
