Hi,
What is not on this wiki page yet - because it's not defined yet - is:
"commit metadata". Commit metadata is needed when you want to:
* get multiple commits (diffs) in one block
* send multiple commits (diffs) in one block
As an example, see MicroKernel.getJournal() at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jackrabbit/sandbox/microkernel/src/main/jav
a/org/apache/jackrabbit/mk/api/MicroKernel.java
This method is supposed to get multiple commits in one operation.
I propose the following syntax:
@ {"ts": 1322055029229, "msg": "New node 'hello'"}
+ "/hello": {}
@ {"ts": 1322055029230, "msg": "New node 'world'"}
+ "/world": {}
That means, the syntax for "commit metadata" is:
METADATA ::= "@" OBJECT
...
This highlights a general problem with the compact syntax; it lacks an
extension point.
Unless I'm missing something, a today's JSOP parsers will be unable to
parse future messages that contain an extension defined like the above,
as they won't know how to skip over it.
Best regards, Julian
