Kasper Sørensen commented on METAMODEL-38:
------------------------------------------

I do know and understand what JSON is ... But how do you see it used in a 
MetaModel context?

To compare with XML ... I've seen sometimes data interchange in XML which was 
several gigabytes of streamed XML. Although I didn't like that at all, I saw it 
used by "enterprise" systems as a way to serialize large tables of data. I 
haven't seen something like that going on with JSON actually - maybe because 
those who are sensible enough to avoid XML, also avoids JSON for this task :-P

Let's say you had a big JSON file ... what assumptions would there be about it 
- is the outer element always an array, or can it be a nested array that we 
query in MetaModel? If you have to map to MetaModel's schema/table/column 
model, how would you do that?

> support the json file format

> Could we support the json file format..
> Json is not unlike xml which is already supported however is a much condensed 
> form, and it is being used as the preferred method of exchange for many API
> one example:
> {
>     "name":{
>         "first":"Joe", 
>         "last":"Sixpack"
>     }, 
>     "gender":"MALE", 
>     "verified":false, 
>     "userImage":"Rm9vYmFyIQ=="
> }
