JSOP diff format

[Julian Reschke <ju...@gmx.de>]

Hi,

at some point we need to answer the questions below:

1) How many diff formats do we want inside Jackrabbit? What can we do to 
converge on a single one?

2) Should the diff format we use be applicable to things outside the 
Jackrabbit world, that is manipulating pure JSON?

Regarding 1) - as the feature set seems to be a moving target right now, 
this may be hard. On the other hand, if we reach consensus on certain 
aspects (such as: is the path quoted) we should try to update the 
implementations accordingly.

Regarding 2) - if this is our goal than we need to define operations in 
terms of JSON, not JCR, and treat the JCR-JSON mapping as orthogonal. 
For instance that means that there should be no special-casing of 
certain constructs, such as the "set" operation only taking strings or 
arrays.

Best regards, Julian
