But the "JSON" isn't quite appropriate here, because not EVERYTHING

JavaScript. It's just the more complex Java objects that need JSON.
Correct. For those things the JavaScript should call getProperty().
Both getProperty and getJsonProperty should be exposed to JavaScript.
I get it. Sure. Let's do that. Who knows, maybe someday JavaScript
will be able to call getProperty and handle a Java object. One question:
Q: Won't the return for Java getProperty() be a generic Object, so
that sometimes it's a string, sometimes a Hashtable, etc.? Maybe we
will need, for JavaScript:
getStringProperty()
getJsonProperty()
so that JavaScript NEVER is allowed to call the generic Object
getProperty() function.
I looked at a Java package that is referenced at http://www.json.org ...
frankly it looked too heavyweight for me. We are only generating JSON
strings, so I think it will be easier to directly implement the conversion
routines.
Ah, I suppose so. Right -- we can run with what we have.
By the way, I realized just this morning the significance of HEAD and
version. (I mean, I knew the difference, just didn't put 2+2 together
this time.) DUH! Right, of course what I do on HEAD may or may not
ever make into a version. Somehow I was thinking that "HEAD"s just
automatically get turned into versions, but of course that's not true.
you can pick and choose what you want out of a HEAD to include in
any next version. That I leave to you. (Still, I'm not going to commit
this until I play with it a bit more and get more feedback.)
