Notes
We heard a lot of good feedback in favour of using JSON Schema - instead of ProtoBuf - as a language to define object definitions within the FOS working group.
The language have some indisputable advantages compared to ProtoBuf, such as the flexibility, the features (inheritance, optional/mandatory fields, validations, etc), which is where the group agreed upon; however, there have been different opinions whether this tool would be "accessible" enough for business analysts.
On the downside, JSON Schema does not provide - as ProtoBuf does - a consolidate set of tools for static code and docs generation, which requires custom configuration and setup.
A couple of other interesting/recurring considerations:
- ProtoBuf is conceived as a wire protocol format, which also affects the language syntax (ie properties must be numbered) and user experience
- It is unclear who is leading the "JSON Schema" initiative and how it is governed (couldn't find much info on the web), though it looks healthy as open source project, though still in an incubation phase (see version 0.7)
Action Items
- Maurizio Pillitu updates the the ODP Roadmap published in the Wiki page
- Open for volunteers to build a spike - similar to the one built with ProtoBuf - to present to the FOS Working Group as a solution to adopt
