             NetJSON: data interchange format for networks
                    draft-capoano-kaplan-netjson-00

Abstract

   NetJSON is a data interchange format based on JavaScript Object
   Notation (JSON) designed to describe the basic building blocks of
   layer2 and layer3 networking.

   It defines several types of JSON objects and the manner in which they
   are combined to represent a network: configuration of devices,
   monitoring data, network topology and routing information.
