Surprised nobody mentioned CBOR (http://cbor.io http://cbor.io) yet. Aka RFC 7049 (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049 http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7049).

- LVB 10y agoIt is referenced in the Ion docs: http://amznlabs.github.io/ion-docs/index.html http://amznlabs.github.io/ion-docs/index.html
- eyan 10y ago@LVB, thanks for that. RTFM-ing made me think twice about adopting CBOR or going with Ion. I'll also mention Velocypack (https://github.com/arangodb/velocypack https://github.com/arangodb/velocypack) while here.
- brianolson 10y agoThey complain about how CBOR is a superset of JSON data types and so some CBOR values (like bignum) might not down-convert to JSON cleanly, and then in the next paragraph they talk about how Ion is a superset of JSON data types including 'arbitrary sized integers'. Bad doubletalk. Boo. (I have implemented CBOR in a couple languages and like it. Every few months we get to say, "oh look, _another_ binary JSON.")
