To be able to use the same value as an environment variable and to copy easily to the clipboard, you can use a URI. for more convenient editing, you can use object representation. No I mean deprecate across airflow including with env vars and cli ( or support both simultaneously ) There's not really anything special about the uri format. We could store json in env vars My support of using conn uri is like you said the convenience of switching between backend and env and cli and the virtue of uniformity but if we switch to json globally that could be a good thing -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
