mnl mnl mnl mnl mnl@joesabin I’m kind of fine with code bloat, in the sense that we can build software that does a lot more. But json parsing is just… complex, feature-poor and json is an infuriating format and not even that readable to boot.
Kill cars for climate!@mnl Do you have an alternative format in mind?
Depending on the use case:
- XML
- protobuf/flatbuf/any decent binary serialization (much easier to handle)
For readability and human consumption: YAML
clacke: exhausted pixie dream boy 🇸🇪🇭🇰💙💛@mnl Do you have a favorite JSON-datamodel-like binary serialization out of JSONB, BSON, BJSON, UBJSON, CBOR, MessagePack, etc?
Asking partly because it's hilarious that we as a community haven't decided, in fact we're so undecided that at least two of these have IETF RFCs, and partly because you might actually have a preference and offer some insight. 😃
