Hi folks, My concern about this is that we're already taking liberties with the media type application/json.
Adding this kind of annotation definitely takes us into very neo4j-specific territory (which might be a good thing). I responded to the ticket, saying that perhaps we should consider a neo4j media type. In that media type we could properly define a set of programmatic types that we support, as well as the hypermedia controls (links, forms) that we'd like to see. However what if we didn't use JSON? The Clojure community are thinking about introducing the notion of URI into the core language. Once that's implemented Ian Robinson, Savas Parastatidis and me along with Stu Halloway are going to design the (hyper)media type application/clojure (which will start life as application/x.clojure) Why is this important? Because Clojure already has a sophisticated type system and sending round Clojure data structures is just as easy as sending around JSON (though admittedly the acronym AJAC does not sound so sexy).
