Hi all, Thank you for your replies. I was able to create a sample JSON file which can be used instead of the current XML file (attached). The current default rxt in the Artifact Source editor can be replaced by something similar to the above.
I also went through org.wso2.carbon.governance.generic and org.wso2.carbon.governance.generic.ui components in governance and seems like it's the best starting point to look at the code. As far as I could understand, the java classes corresponding jsp files needs to be modified in order to facilitate using json instead of xml. The XML parsing done through axiom needs to be replaced by a new JSON parser. As mentioned in the [4] above, the new json based implementation could facilitate adding a new artifact type inside another artifact. I could understand how a new artifact can be added inside an existing json file of an artifact, but I'm not very much sure how to implement it in the code level. Please let me know what are the other aspects of the project which I could look at in order to get an overall idea of the project. I will upload a draft proposal in couple of days.
