Subject: WG Review: Javascript Object Notation Update (jsonbis)
A new IETF working group has been proposed in the Applications and
Real-Time Area. The IESG has not made any determination yet. The
following draft charter was submitted, and is provided for informational
purposes only. Please send your comments to the IESG mailing list (iesg
at ietf.org) by 2015-06-22.
Javascript Object Notation Update (jsonbis)
------------------------------------------------
Current Status: Proposed WG

Charter:
Javascript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight, text-based,
language-independent data interchange format. It was derived from the
ECMAScript Programming Language Standard, and is published in both
ECMA-404 and RFC 7159. First published over 10 years ago, JSON has come
into nearly ubiquitous use, often the first choice for data interchange
over other forms -- especially for applications that work over the World
Wide Web. Given this ubiquity it makes sense to move JSON to Internet
Standard.
JSON is defined in two separate documents from two different bodies.
ECMA-404, published by Ecma International, focuses on the abstract
syntax.
RFC 7159, published by the IETF, focuses on the interoperability concerns
when exchanging JSON over a network. The two documents agree on the
structure of what JSON is.
The JSON working group will have as its only task the minor
revision of RFC 7159 to bring it to Internet Standard, and fully
acknowledge the syntax definition in ECMA-404. The work is essentially
a reclassification in place, with absolute minimal changes, though those
changes will require publication of a new RFC. The working group will
review errata and update the document as needed to incorporate those.
The resulting RFC will be aligned with a corresponding publication by
ECMA.
The Working Group will work with the liaison managers to coordinate with
Ecma International TC39 on the editing of both documents. The responsible
AD will work with the liaison managers to coordinate the approval process
with Ecma International so that the versions of the document that are
approved by each body are properly aligned with regard to syntax and
shared semantics.
Milestones:
Oct 2015 - Request publication of JSON standard
