This is cool, but the headline makes it sound like the wire format is json compatible which is not the case. I'm not really sure why there is a focus on json here at all - its the least interesting part of this and the same could be said for almost every serialization format.
- sudodevnull 11mo agoIt's a direct support in binary for the primitives available in JSON. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
- bawolff 11mo agoIts not that "direct", its just a serialization format that supports a super-set of json types. Json tends to be lowest common denominator, so that describes most serialization formats. Which is why when i initially read the headline i thought it meant the wire format was json compatible, which would be really unusual and extremely impressive, because otherwise why else would anyone mention json compatibility? its like mentioning the format is for use with computers, it goes without saying. That's not a criticism of anything with lite3, lite3 sounds really cool. The json angle is just an odd part to concentrate on.
