Till Westmann commented on VXQUERY-178:
---------------------------------------
I think that - to implement JSONiq well in VXQuery (in a stable, efficient, and
well tested way) - there is enough work for 2 GSoC projects.
However, we need separate projects, separate code, and separate evaluations for
both projects.
So the projects cannot depend on each other, but they can be complementary.
I think that you could propose 2 projects to GSoC:
One project that would add objects to the data model (and all the functions,
parser modifications, rewrite rules, etc. - the proposal would need to lay
those out in more detail) and one project that does the same for arrays. That
way the projects would complement each other without depending on each other.
If one project is not successful, the other project can still complete, VXQuery
just wouldn’t get a complete JSONiq implementation in that case.
Maybe Riyafa could create a proposal to add objects and Christina could add one
to add arrays?
Of course you could (and are encouraged to) discuss those proposals either with
the current community or with each other. But please make sure, that each
proposal can be completely implemented independently of the other project.
There might be some (small) overlap that would be part of both projects
proposals. In that case we (the VXQuery community) would then need to decide
how to address that during the coding phase.

> The JSON query language defines an extension to XQuery. Adding this extension
> would allow VXQuery to query JSON data. See their website for more details.
