You implicitly need a schema in JSON too: it's the API documentation. Then, every implementer in a statically typed language needs to translate the JSON format into structures in their own language. And this is impossible to automate,

You declare which one it should be in the schema (used to generate the struct and its (de)serialization code) > XML is a markup language. It's in the name even. It can be used for markup, but isn't limited to that.

Depends on the language. XML maps nicely to C/C++/Java/Rust/... structures, that you can generate from a schema at compile time. Dealing with arbitrarily typed arrays and objects is painful in some languages because you

Sure, but it's less convenient to use.

That's why I install from curated package repositories (eg. Debian) as much as possible, and encourage users of my own software to do so as well.

Yes of course. I meant this protocol extension is needed to get the history while disconnected from the network. And it can be fast enough to work smoothly with scroll/PgUp, I successfully did this with Gamja + https://githu

Why? It doesn't make any difference for users. These days, IRC federation is only used to scale horizontally, and sadly, IRC networks doesn't need to scale over 100k concurrent users anymore.

There is the flagship ergo.chat network, and a bunch of small networks. A total of 118 networks according to https://www.ircstats.org/servers (based on scanning the IPv4 address space on ports 6667 and 6697. Note that, desp

As URLs are provided by random users, a malicious server could send an infinite file to DoS the bot, so there has to be a limit.

FWIW, you can also add type annotations for namedtuples, with a syntax similar to data classes: https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.NamedTu... You can even type dictionaries this way: https:&#x2F

Matrix does it like this as well. Servers have to serialize an object as JSON (specified as Python code), then add the signature to the object and serialize it again to send it on the network. https://spec.matrix.org/v1.1&#x
