Hi Shameera, You are right on time, it was nice meeting you at apache con and discuss your json contributions to axis2. Please see more below:

Airavata has a great need for such support within Airavata registry. Applications are described in a defined xml schema [1] and stored in registry as a xml. This will be good to explore and improvise here on how to revisit this need with JSON. If XML Schema is a good way to go, then provide dynamic parsers at transport level. Alternatively there are good amount of ideas floating around service orchestration and workflow issues you can pick up.
