Martin Czygan recently added JSON support to pymarc [1]. Before this gets rolled into a release I was wondering if it might make sense to bring the implementation in line with Ross Singer's proposed JSON serialization for MARC [2]. After quickly looking around it seems to be what got implemented in ruby-marc [3] and PHP's File_MARC [4]. It also looked like there was a MARC::Record branch [5] for doing something similar, but I'm not sure if that has been released yet.
It seems like a no-brainer to bring it in line, but I thought I'd ask since I haven't been following the conversation closely. //Ed [1] https://github.com/edsu/pymarc/commit/245ea6d7bceaec7215abe788d61a0b34a6cd849e [2] http://dilettantes.code4lib.org/blog/2010/09/a-proposal-to-serialize-marc-in-json/ [3] https://github.com/ruby-marc/ruby-marc/blob/master/lib/marc/record.rb#L227 [4] http://pear.php.net/package/File_MARC/docs/latest/File_MARC/File_MARC_Record.html#methodtoJSON [5] http://marcpm.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=marcpm/marcpm;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/marc-json
