Regarding Rich's talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROor6_NGIWU), can anyone explain the points he's trying to make about self-describing and extensible data formats, with the JSON and google examples?
He argues that google couldn't exist if the web depended on out-of-band schemas. He gives as an example of such a schema a JSON encoding where an out-of-band agreement is made that field names with substring "date" refer to string-encoded dates. However, this is exactly the sort of thing google does. It finds dates, and other data types, heuristically, and not through the formats of the web being self-describing or extensible. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
