What are the potential downsides of not changing it?
- Vendan 8y agoMakes it difficult to implement the protocol in anything but node.js (and potentially version specific, if node.js ever decides to tweak json serialization stuff)
- lgierth 8y agoObjects in JSON are per the spec unordered, while the signature scheme here most likely relies on the order of the object's key-value pairs. Other data formats that are ordered, and serialize somewhat more deterministically, are CBOR, Protobufs, or s-exp.
