JSYNC

[trans]

I notice Oj has a serialization format, Object JSON. That's cool. But what I'd really like to see is support for JSYNC (http://jsync.org/).

JSYNC does not seem to be very active. It claims to be under heavy construction and that was 2 years ago. Have you seen any evidence that it is being used?

JSYNC was created by Ingy döt Net one of three main YAML designers. As such it is well thought out, mapping YAML concepts back to JSON. Problem is (AFAIK) no one has implemented it yet. Which is why it would be so great, if someone finally did.

I can understand your desire for JSYNC to gain traction but implementing it as part of the Oj gem does not really make sense at this point in time. The usual path to get JSYNC more widely accepted would be to write a JSYNC parser using the Oj gem and when the edge cases are worked out and a spec finalized I could look at making Oj parse the JSYNC spec. Without a stable spec I would just be chasing my tail trying to keep up with changes in JSYNC as issues were discovered and worked out.

Would you be interested in writing the first JSYNC parser making use of the Oj gem?

No reply. Closing this as an issue.

Sorry. I'm just very busy. I think I can put together a parser --as least I don't think there should be anything too difficult about that. It's more the emitter that I think will be difficult.

Anyhow, I'll give it a good as soon as I have some cycles to spare it.

When you get going let me know.
