The IESG has approved the following document: - 'JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer' (draft-ietf-appsawg-json-pointer-09.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Applications Area Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Barry Leiba and Pete Resnick. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-appsawg-json-pointer/ Technical Summary JSON Pointer defines a string syntax for identifying a specific value within a JSON document. Working Group Summary This draft and its companion (draft-ietf-appsawg-json-patch) received commentary from a number of participants. The original authors were unable to complete the work so the current editor stepped in. There was no controversy of import, and the subset of Applications Area participants who have reviewed and commented on this document is large enough and the reviews are broad enough that we have good consensus on this. Document Quality Many of the participants who contributed review comments are well established in the IETF and W3C communities. The review and participation was thorough and contained adequate (if not better) expertise on the relevant topics. Implementations are being tracked at http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/appsawg/trac/wiki/JsonPatch, as "pointer" is a dependency of "patch". Personnel Murray Kucherawy is the Document Shepherd. Barry Leiba is the responsible Area Director.
