Michael Dürig commented on OAK-75:
----------------------------------

Regarding the filter syntax: couldn't we make it a bit more lightweight and 
general? For example

{code}
{
  nodes: [ "foo\*", "\-foo1" ],
  properties: [ "bar\*", "tmp" ]
}
{code}

would only include nodes whose names start with "foo" and whose name is not 
"foo1" and all properties whose name start with "bar" or whose name is "tmp".
                
> specify format and semantics of 'filter' parameter in MicroKernel API

> the following MicroKernel methods contain a 'filter' string parameter:
> - getJournal
> - diff
> - getNodes
> through the filter an API client could e.g. specify:
> - special 'meta' properties to be included (e.g. ":hash")
> - glob patterns on the names of properties/child nodes to be included/excluded
> - path filter (for getJournal and diff)
> format/detailed semantics TBD, here's an initial proposal (json):
> {code} 
> {
>   "path" : "/some/path",
>   "incl" : [ ":hash", "*" ],
>   "excl" : [ "tmp*" ]
> }
> {code} 
> name filter patterns should ideally be the same 
> format as specified for JCR Node.getNodes/getProperties.
