BSON
I know , we are not meant to put up a wish list, but certainly having a
leaned down mechanism to message via http would be great.. In my case my
services are behind Ruby which has a bson implementation. ActionScript does
have a community package as well. I think it would be great to make it part
of core Apache Flex. The code is already there:
https://github.com/argoncloud/ActionBSON/
Haven't played with it yet.

I plan on moving MongoAS3, along w/ the BSON encoder/decoder, into my
whiteboard as I wrap it in a RemoteObject type of interface to add some
Flex specific functionality for using both BSON and MongoDB from
ActionScript 3.

That is the MIT license, category-b [1]. However that doesn't matter: If
all creators (in this case just Claudio Andreoni - as it seems) want to
contribute it
then that shouldn't be a problem. For example: Mustella has not been
open-sourced and will most likely be contributed. It will need a license
change in
that process.

Omar:
Extremely cool.
As a matter of fact one of my most typical use of JSON/BSON is with
MongoDB. However, my more common pattern is to have a middle tier / app
server that talks to the DB. I'm guessing your MongoAS3 allows one to
talk directly to MongoDB directly ?
So in doing this, did I understand you correctly , you also have built your
own generic BSON implementation which may be reused?
thanks

I've fixed those bugs in the BSON implementation and wrote MongoAS3 from
scratch. I'm looking at wrapping it in a RemoteObject style to add some
more Flex specific functionality.

I think you'll have to get the creator to release it under a different
license and/or donate that code to Apache.
https://github.com/argoncloud/ActionBSON/blob/master/LICENSE.txt
It seems he retains copyright and while that is very permissive; I'm
not sure what legal issues could come from submitting that code to Apache.
Nevertheless, I'm not sure why something like this would need to be
baked into Flex or what sort of special integration you need.
