Summing up: About a descriptive and reusable and language independent format to describe e.g. websites (evolved pretty much)
We can tell in a few lines
- what URLs of what purpose a site has
- how the parts from https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6570 (or user submitted data) map to JSON keys (if different)
- what constraints are expected
- completely reusable
See e.g. p3k\XRay\Formats - they describe such sites / services.
If we would describe such stuff (like I currently do) with https://json-schema.org everybody could consume them in a programming language of their choice.
There are additional tools as autobuilding forms for them and validators and so on.
After writing https://github.com/redaktor/ActivityPubSchema I will do the same for e.g. the providers in p3k\XRay\Formats !
How do you think about it ?
