Oracle Supporting this JSR:
Oracle Section 2: Request
2.1 Please describe the proposed Specification:JSON(JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. Many popular web services use JSON format for invoking and returning the data. Currently Java applications use different implementation libraries to produce/consume JSON from the web services. Hence, there is a need to standardize a Java API for JSON so that applications that use JSON need not bundle the implementation libraries but use the API. Applications will be smaller in size and portable.
The goal of this specification is to develop such APIs to:
Non-goals of this specification include: 2.2 What is the target Java platform? (i.e., desktop, server, personal, embedded, card, etc.)This JSR is targeted for Java SE 6 or higher and Java EE 7 or higher platforms. 2.3 The Executive Committees would like to ensure JSR submitters think about how their proposed technology relates to all of the Java platform editions. Please provide details here for which platform editions are being targeted by this JSR, and how this JSR has considered the relationship with the other platform editions.This JSR will be available standalone. It is also targeted for inclusion in the Java EE 7 platform. 2.4 Should this JSR be voted on by both Executive Committees?No. By the SE/EE EC only. 2.5 What need of the Java community will be addressed by the proposed specification?See 2.1 above. 2.6 Why isn't this need met by existing specifications?See 2.1 above. 2.7 Please give a short description of the underlying technology or technologies:Standard JSON format 2.8 Is there a proposed package name for the API Specification? (i.e., javapi.something, org.something, etc.)javax.json 2.9 Does the proposed specification have any dependencies on specific operating systems, CPUs, or I/O devices that you know of?No. 2.10 Are there any security issues that cannot be addressed by the current security model?No. 2.11 Are there any internationalization or localization issues?This specification uses the I18N support in Java SE 2.12 Are there any existing specifications that might be rendered obsolete, deprecated, or in need of revision as a result of this work?No. 2.13 Please describe the anticipated schedule for the development of this specification.
Dec 2011 Expert Group formed 2.14 Please describe the anticipated working model for the Expert Group working on developing this specification.The primary means of communication will be email, with conference calls and face-to-face meetings scheduled as needed. 2.15 Provide detailed answers to the transparency checklist, making sure to include URLs as appropriate:json-processing-spec java.net project site will be used to track all issues and disseminate information on the progress of the JSR. The Expert Group will conduct business on a publicly readable alias. A private alias will be used only for EG administrative matters, as needed. - Is the schedule for the JSR publicly available, current, and updated regularly? The schedule will be available on the project page for the JSR. - Can the public read and/or write to a wiki for the JSR? We'll use a public mailing list for comments. - Is there a publicly accessible discussion board for the JSR that you read and respond to regularly? We'll track such discussions and respond to them on the public comment mailing list. - Have you spoken at conferences and events about the JSR recently? Yes, in JavaOne 2011. - Are you using open-source processes for the development of the RI and/or the TCK? Yes, the RI will be developed as a java.net project. - What are the Terms of Use required to use the collaboration tools you have prepared to use with the Expert Group, so that prospective EG members can judge whether they are compatible with the JSPA? The terms will be available on the project page for the JSR. - Does the Community tab for my JSR have links to and information about all public communication mechanisms and sites for the development of my JSR? Yes, it will point to the project page for the JSR. 2.16 Please describe how the RI and TCK will de delivered, i.e. as part of a profile or platform edition, or stand-alone, or both. Include version information for the profile or platform in your answer.The RI and TCK will be delivered both standalone and as part of the Java EE 7 TCK. 2.17 Please state the rationale if previous versions are available stand-alone and you are now proposing in 2.13 to only deliver RI and TCK as part of a profile or platform edition (See sections 1.1.5 and 1.1.6 of the JCP 2 document).N/A 2.18 Please provide a description of the business terms for the Specification, RI and TCK that will apply when this JSR is final.Note that this information has been updated since this original proposal. Specification license 2.19 Please describe the communications channel you have established for the public to observe Expert Group deliberations, provide feedback, and view archives of all Expert Group communications.The Expert Group will conduct business on jsr353-experts@json-processing-spec.java.net mailing list which is publicly readable. 2.20 What is the URL of the Issue Tracker that the public can read, and how does the public log issues in the Issue Tracker?A JIRA issue tracker for json-processing-spec java.net project will be used for this purpose. The issue tracker URL is http://java.net/jira/browse/JSON_PROCESSING_SPEC 2.21 Please provide the location of the publicly accessible document archive you have created for the Expert Group.Expert Group's publicly readable mailing list will be archived at http://java.net/projects/json-processing-spec/lists/jsr353-experts/archive Section 3: Contributions
3.1 Please list any existing documents, specifications, or implementations that describe the technology. Please include links to the documents if they are publicly available.http://json.org/ http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt http://jackson.codehaus.org/ http://code.google.com/p/google-gson/ 3.2 Explanation of how these items might be used as a starting point for the work.Will understand the current needs surrounding JSON usage and its implementations, and build an agreed API |
