What cordova.json has that config.xml doesn't, is that you can set the
location of platforms with it through:
{
"id":"org.apache.mobilespec",
"name":"mobilespec",
"lib": {
"android": {
"uri": "/Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-android",
"version": "dev",
"id": "cordova-android-dev"
},
"ios": {
"uri": "/Users/agrieve/git/cordova/cordova-ios",
"version": "dev",
"id": "cordova-ios-dev"
}
}
}
We're also planning on adding plugin search paths in there in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5006.
That said, I like your idea of having one top-level config file instead of
two. I don't see why we couldn't just put these same settings into a
"cordova.xml".
