Re: [wtp-dev] JSON Editor contribution

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Just a quick answer to the why json and not xml, this is for config files and as we build IoT apps that have both web and embedded components, the technologies cross. Yaml would be good too. But only crazy people and Apple use XML files for config :)

You haven't had any need for xml/xsd/dtd but now need json ? (actually a
serious question since it would surprise me if true :)

Because we find that for now the see in WTP is the closest thing we get
to have a "multi-lang" tooling that we can use today and
get out with minimal dependencies.

Thanks - we think so too and this seemed to be the fastest way we could
get it in.

I think if we do it right there will be minimal exposed SSE dependencies
so if a better option shows up in future things can move over there
quite easily.
