Yes, it would be very good if there was such a thing as a common API for any reader/writer of any format (JSON, CSV, XML, STON, FUEL, ...). For a reader that is pretty easy, I think. Any reader object should understand #readFrom: <stream> (binary or character ReadStream as appropriate) And maybe also #readFromString: <string> #readFromBytes: <bytearray> For the writer, I am not so sure. Maybe #nextPut: <object> toStream: <stream> (binary or character ReadStream as appropriate) And maybe also #toString: <object> #toBytes: <object> Note that the reader and writer objects could be different. But like I said, I am not so sure about the API. We could try to define a Trait for this. Sven
