Hello June You're correct: under current plans, we do not intend to have JSON code in IoTivity, but it will not be too difficult to add it later by someone properly motivated. Given other priorities, even if someone wanted to do it tomorrow, I'd expect us to ask the contributor to hold off for a couple more months as we stabilise the codebase. > You know, CBOR is mandatory and JSON is optional in CORE spec, but if some > vertical needs JSON as mandatory for some reasons, then Vertical spec can > make JSON mandatory and can talk as mandatory.

I don't mind whatever else they choose to make mandatory, as long as CBOR is mandatory. But, like you said, we may not do it in IoTivity. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
