Devansh Gupta commented on THRIFT-4220:
---------------------------------------
`/contrib` makes sense, since yes it does break I can change the variables
names part of the spec. Also you need to supply it the generated JSON files.
I already have the code up here
https://github.com/degupta/human_readable_json_protocol
I will need to obviously clean it up a bit and some more testing (and probably
change the name `HumanReadableJsonProtocol` is a mouthful, it was named for the
exact problem I was trying to solve)
The Golang & Ruby versions are very well battle tested (well to the extent my
companies use it - which is pretty decent I think).
We can start with a few languages and not have to implement all supported
languages correct?
Also what is the procedure for contributing to `/contrib` (as in the format -
is it just a directory?). How would the tests works?
Sorry, did not find any ReadMes for it.

> If we publish our Services/APIs as Thrift today you can't make requests using
> simple Human Readable JSON. This means publishing our APIs to third party
> users means they have to
> 1. Know how to use Thrift
> 2. Have all the Thrift definition files or the generated code
> Or we have to build Libraries for each of the platforms we want to support.
> This is not always possible.
> I propose we do something like this:
> {code}
> exception SystemException {
> 1: i32 errorCode,
> 2: string message,
> }
> struct User {
> 1: string id,
> 2: string email,
> 3: string name,
> 4: i64 validatedAt
> }
> struct LoginResult {
> 1: string authToken,
> 2: User currentUser
> }
> service AuthenticationService {
> LoginResult login(1: string email, 2: string password) throws(1:
> SystemException err)
> }
> {code}
> Request Format:
> {code}
> {
> "method": "METHOD_NAME",
> "arguments": { ... }
> }
> {
> "method": "login",
> "arguments": {
> "email": "[email protected]",
> "password": "password"
> }
> }
> {code}
> RESULT:
> {code}
> {
> "method": "login",
> "result": {
> "success": {
> "authToken": "some_auth_token",
> "currentUser": {
> "id": "6a6c982b-62f9-46d2-aff9-bd3a1cdf43f9",
> "email": "[email protected]",
> "name": "user1",
> "validatedAt": 0
> }
> }
> }
> }
> {code}
> This uses the JSON generated by the JSON Generator as "metadata" to figure
> out the Field Keys and Types.
