The IESG has approved the following document: - 'JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Text Sequences' (draft-ietf-json-text-sequence-13.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the JavaScript Object Notation Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Pete Resnick and Barry Leiba. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-json-text-sequence/ Technical Summary This document describes the JSON text sequence format. A JSON text sequence is specifically not a JSON text itself, but it is composed of (possible) JSON texts. JSON text sequences can be parsed (and produced) incrementally without having to have a streaming parser (nor streaming encoder). This allows easy coding of extremely large datasets, logs, and so on. Because it is a format, it is appropriate for standards track. Working Group Summary The WG had some problems with early drafts of the document, but came to rough consensus at the end. There was disagreement about what character(s) should be used to delimit text sequences, but there was fairly extensive discussion and most of the participants agreed that the sequence chosen in the latest draft is the best of the alternatives discussed. Document Quality There was not a huge amount of interest in the format in the WG, but there was definite interest from some users of JSON, particularly those who want to write out JSON texts in logs. Personnel Paul Hoffman (co-chair of the JSON WG) is the document shepherd Pete Resnick is the responsible Area Director.
