Hi all Over at legal-discuss there is a discussion of whether the json.org library with the amended MIT license (remember the „use for good not evil“ clause ?) should be „banned“ by reconsidering the „A“ rating of this license (assuming the clause is just a joke) and turning it into an „X“ rating (don’t use based on Debian’s and other’s considerations:
https://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/jsonevil https://www.cnet.com/news/dont-be-evil-google-spurns-no-evil-software/ It is not decided yet. But for the web console we should probably be prepared. Plenty of alternatives exist: Jackson, GSon, and IMHO quite interesting javax.json (https://json-processing-spec.java.net/) with a RI from glassfish (https://jsonp.java.net/). Assuming we would have to change things, I propose we reimplement the API of the json.org library with javax.json using the Glassfish RI. WDYT ? Regards Felix
