Hi,

Actually, no so much comments on this choosing. I just do not think xml is a 
problem to embedded devices, in fact xml is well supported by different sort of 
devices in my view. The issue may be some power and bandwidth constrained 
devices (e.g. some smart objects) to support txt based information. Let’s 
ignore this case since we are not to define binary encoding at the moment.

Best regards,
Zhu Lei

主题: [paws] JSON vs XML

The chairs discussed with the AD, and we came up with the following action plan 
to drive this wg to a consensus on the json vs xml encoding:
we’ll collect an objections list for json and one for xml, listing what is seen 
wrong/problematic with that encoding. The chairs and the wg will go through 
that list and see if the objections are valid, then decide which encoding has 
more support and choose that one. If we end up with good objections list for 
both, we may choose to support both encodings, as that list will justify the 
decision once the document advances to the iesg.

I went through the emails and I found so far the following valid objections:

xml:
too verbose, may be a problem to be supported in embedded devices
current trend for APIs in the browsers is towards json



json:
some data structures are  encoded in xml, a json encoding for those would need 
to be defined (which is not impossible, but requires some extra work)


If you have additional objections, send them to the list asap.
