Thanks for the quick reply!
2 use-cases.
1- we can generate or retrieve a dataset's content to use natively in the
creative coding environment (Max Pd Sc) so that it integrates in other
workflows of data mangling and drawing. We already have in our dataset object
file support and single point entry and query but this allow batch dump and
load. The structure is:
{
"cols" : 3,
"data" : {
"entry-0" : [ -0.06755, 0.44185, -0.33835 ],
"entry-1" : [ -0.12305, -0.24085, 0.31295 ],
"entry-2" : [ -0.0595, -0.2881, 0.0597 ]
}
}
2- we can retrieve or set the state of a complex objects. Our object will spit
out its internal status ( for instance, a neural net) and we can use the values
of its parameters, like below. More interestingly, we can also query its
structure and use that information too.
{
"layers" : [ {
"activation" : 3,
"biases" : [ -3.076234734727154, 0.772760846709679 ],
"cols" : 2,
"rows" : 1,
"weights" : [ [ 6.015551733036155, -1.826803841455323 ]
]
}
, {
"activation" : 3,
"biases" : [ -0.490600074475542 ],
"cols" : 1,
"rows" : 2,
"weights" : [ [ -3.115116035462417 ], [
-3.969281643687132 ] ]
}
]
}
The key-value nesting is quite powerful for this type of open structure...
