Question on Tserializer

[Fabio Ronca <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I have a question about the Tserializer and the TJSONProtocol offered by Thrift.
I use Thrift to implement a RPC between server and client written in
different programming languages. I need to add new functionality in my
system implementing an integrity check on the data exchanged between
client and server.

The idea is to convert in string the data exchanged between sender and
receiver (defined in the IDL thrift) and use this string as an input
to the algorithm for the integrity calculation.
For structured data types, I want to leverage on the Tserializer based
on TJSONProtocol to obtain a JSON string (representing the data to
protect) to provide as input to the algorithm for integrity
calculation.

Is it correct to assume that the JSON string resulting from conversion
is always the same (assuming to have the same input data) across
different programming languages?
I mean, can I assume that the behaviour of TSerializer (based on
TJSONProtocol) is the same across the different implementations of
Thrift libraries available for the different programming languages?

Thanks in advance
Best Regards
