I find the circles, crosses and triangles on https://github.com/goccy/go-json#json-library-comparison https://github.com/goccy/go-json#json-library-comparison hard to comprehend. I guess that circle means "yes", cross is "no" and triangle is "partial" or something. However that is really just based on context. (I guessed the symbols from what I thought the data should be)
I would suggest using words like "yes", "no" and "partial". They are short and clear. If you really want to do symbols I recommend using for yes, and still spelling out whatever triangle is supposed to mean.
- idobe 6y agoThe author looks to be Japanese, so that's probably why. In Japan, grade school teachers often use the symbols like so: ○ = correct × = incorrect △ = partially incorrect I'd prefer the yes, no, partial though as well.
- mst 6y agoMy first thought was "yes", "no" and "ish" since the last one is a similar length to the first two. My second thought was that that was probably just going to move the confusion to non-native english speakers. Given a math background, ~~ for 'ish' is also tempting ... but while writing this out I've circled back around to "I can't think of anything better than partial".
