Our great sponsors

  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • awesome-jsonschema

    A curated list of awesome JSON Schema resources, tutorials, tools, and more.

    IMHO schema support should be part of the initial release. https://json-schema.org/ being an afterthought to the original JSON was a mistake.

    Cursive Script Object Notation (by lifthrasiir)

    I appreciate your detailed write-up, but most users would be clueless about this separation and will write something seemingly works, only to find it broken later. I also have a concern about the implementation complexity [1], which combined with clueless users can have a bigger effect.

    [1] Back when I designed my own serialization format I criticized TOML's decision to add date and time types for the same reason: https://github.com/lifthrasiir/cson#no-additional-types

  • InfluxDB

    Registration for CBOR tag for records

    Not Concise, but CBOR does have some sort of proposals for such data [1]. This is implemented via CBOR's tagging system where you can attach a tag to otherwise mundane data to hint otherwise, which is in my opinion one of the biggest idea behind CBOR and why CBOR is not really a ripoff of MessagePack contrary to some claims.
