Hi Rose, hi all,

Unless I am mistaken, I do not think the current standard defines a 
"default-recommended SPDX format".

What is true is that the examples are given first in Tag Value format (and then 
in RDF).

I would recommend to add in the spec the examples in JSON, but also to keep the 
current examples in Tag Value in RDF formats.

Best regards,

Marc-Etienne

Subject: [spdx-tech] Proposal to update examples in the spec to JSON

Hi All,

I won't be able to make next week's SPDX call so I'm hoping start an a-sync 
discussion here on the mailing list. In the SPDX Implementers call we've 
discussed moving away from the Tag Value format as the default-recommended SPDX 
format as it's not as tooling friendly as others SPDX formats like JSON. 
However, most of the examples in the spec currently are Tag Value or RDF.

Would folks here welcome PRs (to be merged AFTER 2.3) that start to migrate the 
examples in the spec to JSON? I think this would be a real value to tools that 
are attempting to adopt SPDX as there's no examples for it in the spec 
currently.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
-Rose
