I really like that we have these examples! However, it would be nice to
make
them discoverable by other community members without going through the
mailing list. So we could either
a) put them on the Wiki or
b) decide to put them on the website (along with the XDM examples) when
we
are done.
I'd prefer b) and if we agree on that, I think that I'd be good if
Riyafa
and Christina filed issus for themselves to add the content of the
Google
doc to the website (so we won't forget).
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Till

Hi,
I updated the wiki page according to Preston's comments along with the
json array example in [1].

Nice job guys. I can see you are picking up how to create a data
model. I have limited my comments to the wiki [1] for now. At a high
level, I was impressed with your detail and thoughtful layouts. It
reminds me of the age old trade off: speed vs space. At this time,
lets error on saving space. The data model should the as compact as
possible.
I also found the AsterixDB serialization [2] we can use as a
reference. Even though the AsterixDB data model includes object
length, I would leave that out since all the XQuery data models do
not
include this property.
Riyafa, take a look at the method AsterixDB uses for quick look ups
(a
hash value for the name). Consider the pros and cons between your
method and AsterixDB's method: a list hash value for name and a
sorted
list of names.
Also, take a look at my wiki comments. Its a great start!
Mahalo,
Preston

Hi,
I, also, designed an example for the json array [1] given the
description I
wrote in the wiki page.

Hi,
I am attempting to create a doc on the JSONiq data model for
objects[1]
(It
might be full of errors because I am doing the calculations
manually).
This is what I have come up on the data model for objects:
The first byte would have the value tag, followed by the id (4
bytes) of
the object. Then 4 bytes to represent the size of the object. Then
another
four bytes to represent the number of key-value pairs. Next few
bytes
represent the offsets of keys which follow (each offset is
represented by
4
bytes). Ids would be assigned to the keys. Next few bytes would be
a
sorted
list of ids for keys in alphabetical order. The following bytes
would
represent the keys in the object.Each key is a StringPointable
followed by
the id of the key. Each object would have a sequence pointable: the
following bytes would be the number of Items (items are the values
for
keys) in the sequence. The next bytes would be the offset of each
item in
the sequence. The last bytes would be the values for each key
followed by
the respective id of the key.
Hope it makes sense.
My problem is,
I have not provided for the white spaces in the object. What can I
use to
represent the white spaces? I cannot use a text node because object
is not
a node.

We have two students working with us this summer through GSOC to
complete
JSONiq specification for arrays and objects. I think the first
step is to
define the data model used by JSONiq. The definition should be
defined in
our wiki [1] before coding starts this summer. The wiki will allow
the
community to discuss the JSON data model implementation in
VXQuery.
I updated the JSONiq wiki to help get the documentation started.
Please
fill in the JSON data model based on the examples seen on our
website
(links on the wiki page).
Post here if you have any questions.
