#3: something entirely different?
:) I'm missing the recursive structure somewhat. Maybe it's just me. I like
recursion.
{ "name": "subdir1", "content": [ <recurse> ], "type": "{x in
link,file,directory}" }
file content: empty (or ? )
link content: file link
dir content: file/dir/link content list
lends naturally to relative operations this way.
Why #3 rather than #1/2a/b ?:
I don't like #1 because it misses links, and includes (has to) the whole path.
I think (guess, believe, ...) that relative operations are more often than
absolute operations (display, move, annotate, search, ...)
I don't like #2a because of the abbreviations. It's json, not a single byte
unix encoding necessity or something we're talking about here.
I don't like #2b because of a mix of above reasons ;)
Of course that also encodes my personal taste of things, which definitely
plays a role in the rationale above and Your Mileage May Vary as they say (or
your taste :)
