After taking a break from our previous debate(s) on the issue of
which response format to support, I would like to suggest the
following:
- Support a single response format (including in the user-agent
fragment) using JSON.
My reason for this is very simple, while right now we have a very
limited need (key/value pairs), we already have a few proposals
which require a richer syntax. As OAuth matures, I expect more and
more extensions to make use of the server response to include
additional parameters (flat or structured). By using JSON, we can
very easily support "namespaces" (i.e. { "access_token":"xyz","ext":
{...} }), multiple token in a single response, etc.
I appreciate the simplicity in using form-encoded (both code and
library dependency wise), but long term, it will create a real
limitation and will require extensions to also specify a different
response format.
Those worried about the need to include a JSON library in cases
where it will be hard to do (embedded devices, etc.), can always
extend the protocol to provide a way to receive key/value form-
encoded pairs. However, they will need to figure out how to
accommodate structured responses if they wish support it. I am
certain that the vast majority of implementations will have no
problem including a JSON library.
Please respond only with yes or no (+/- 1). If you have a different
proposal, please post it in a new thread. If you are going to vote
against this, please indicate if your objection is blocking (i.e.
you are opposed to it and will block a consensus call with this
approach).
