Hello, Juneau came to my attention recently and I’ve just had the chance to read through the documentation and play with the micro service samples. Congrats on your second apache release.
I’m on the PPMC of Podling Streams - http://streams.incubator.apache.org , Your project is interesting to me and I just wanted to say hello and start a dialog. We use jackson and typesafe config heavily - so there’s a possibility we could switch to juneau for those capabilities as it appears you already have feature and (potentially?) performance parity. We maintain hundreds of JSON schemas from which we generate POJOs which are used within the project. The code-gen process supports internal and external $ref - I noticed that Juneau has similar code so perhaps we could combine efforts on that front. In addition to POJOs we’ve got maven plugins that can use json schemas to generate scala, and resource files to configure platforms including cassandra, elasticsearch, hive, and pig to store / analyze compliant json documents. This is a relatively immature capability that we built ourselves because a) maintaining files like that is a headache and b) we didn’t see anyone else addressing it using schemas. One specific question I have about Juneau is whether you plan to add support for JSON-LD in 2017. We are putting together a plan to support Activity Streams 2.0 and will need a fairly sophisticated JSON-LD engine to make that work. I welcome anyone from your community to join our list and suggest other ways we might collaborate.
