At the GSoC Mentor Summit, someone from GitHub pointed me at a tool[1] for generating schemas from JSON (which can then be refined manually) and can be used for validating that the schema is still respected in newer versions. I hope to integrate something like this into our regression test suite before 11. For the people complaining that there are no command-line tools for filtering JSON in shell scripts, I’d suggest that they look at JQ[2]. I’m not sure if it’s worth bringing it into base, but being able to install it easily (textproc/jq, no dependencies) from ports suddenly makes a load of stuff trivial with shell scripts that were either incredibly hard or impossible prior to libxo.
