Hi all, thanks for the votes and comments so far. I've amended [1] the proposed language with the RFC-8259 requirement as it seems to be almost unanimously requested. New language is below. To Micah's comment regarding rejecting Binary arrays [2] - please discuss in the PR.
Let's leave the vote open until after the May holiday. Rok [1] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/41257/commits/594945010e3b7d393b411aad971743ffcdbdbc8e [2] https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/41257#discussion_r1583441040 JSON ==== * Extension name: `arrow.json`. * The storage type of this extension is ``StringArray`` or or ``LargeStringArray`` or ``StringViewArray``. *Only UTF-8 encoded JSON as specified in `rfc8259`_ is supported.* * Extension type parameters: This type does not have any parameters. * Description of the serialization: Metadata is either an empty string or a JSON string with an empty object. In the future, additional fields may be added, but they are not required to interpret the array.
