Hey, so I'm trying to gather all infos we have here in order to prepare to move forward with the implem of GraphSON 2.0, here's what I come up with : Things we have : - Type format. - The structure in Jackson to implement our own type format. - All non native Graph types are typed (except the domain specific types). New things we need : - Types for domain specific objects. - Types for all numeric values. - Don't serialize empty fields (outV and stuff). Things we consider changing : - Type IDs convention. Before : Java simple class names. Now : starts with a "domain" like "gremlin" followed by the "type name", which is a lowercased type name (like "uuid", or "float", or "vertex"). Example : "gremlin:uuid". - Type format ? Am I missing something ?
