Hi D Community,
I am currently working on a cloud project where we intend to
reinvent a lot of the old, less-than-optimal technologies. Among
the technologies we are working on is a new general purpose
network protocol called IAP.
IAP comes with a general purpose binary data format called ION
(IAP Object Notation). ION is similar to MessagePack and CBOR,
but with a few additions. ION has a table mode which can be used
to model tables (like CSV files) efficiently, and which can also
be used in larger object graphs. Our early serialized length +
performance benchmarks look promising (tables can be down to 1/5
of JSON, and up to 2 x the speed of parsing CBOR).
ION can be used both inside IAP, but also separately with HTTP
and in data and log files.
We already have a working toolkit in Java (we have Java
backgrounds), but since we really find D interesting, we would
like to make a D toolkit too.
Since we are rather new to D, would anyone be interested in
helping us a bit out making such a library? We can probably do
the coding ourselves, but might need some tips about how to pack
it nicely into a D library which can be used with Dub etc.
