transit works great except that it's unreadable with current tools (for example browser devtools or attaching listeners to kafka).
I know it's a tool problem but I don't see the whole world embracing transit.
If this format gets adopted with extensible types we get a readable format that has what transit provides and if there's no tooling support we can still read it with standard json tools or none at all.
- unlogic 10y agoTransit is unreadable exactly because it has to work around the limitations of JSON (like string-only keys) to deliver its primary features: true maps, tagged collections etc. TJSON only has tags for primitives, so yeah, it's not much different from JSON this way, the tooling is happy.
