With better QMP introspection on the horizon and work in various subsystems pushing QMP boundaries it would be useful to bring together the latest best practices for designing QMP APIs.
There are design rules for keeping QMP APIs extensible and for allowing clients to detect the presence of features. There is also QEMU-side infrastructure like event rate-limiting, which developers should make use of where appropriate. Is anyone willing to bring together the best practices and present them at KVM Forum this year? I think that could help set the standard for QMP APIs. A set of slides or wiki page can be a reference to developers that stops us working from first pricinples every time a new API is added. Stefan
