Hi all,
During the last days I've been working with the api-regions extension and I
think we can improve, even if a little, the extension verbosity.
What we currently have is something where fields are explicitly identified
via the "name" and "exports" fields:
"api-regions:JSON|false": [
{
"name": "global",
"exports": [
"org.osgi.util.function"
]
},
{
"name": "asf",
"exports": [
"org.osgi.util.function"
]
}
]
while they can be implicit, reducing the syntax where each key identifies
directly the region "name" and the related string array values identify the
"exports":
"api-regions:JSON|false": {
"global": [
"org.osgi.util.function"
],
"asf": [
"org.osgi.util.function"
]
}
specifying the main array is not needed anymore.
Moreover, in order to implement the "export all" behaviour, we could use
wildcards that users are already used to, i.e.:
"api-regions:JSON|false": {
"global": [
"*"
],
"asf": [
"org.osgi.util.function"
]
}
What do you think?
Many thanks in advance, all the best!
