Hi Richard
Thanks for the explanation. I think it is a helpful term or distinction to
have. I think it would be good to actually have that term with a formal
definition published by LiveCode or the community with references to BSON so it
will show up in web searches for either term to lead people to LiveCode.
Maybe a start would be to introduce it in the forums.
Just a question though how is what you define as LSON different from JSON. Is
it a different way of serializing LiveCode native arrays? Is there a way that
LiveCode developers can have access to it directly through LCB or is it
accessible in the realm of the engine only.
Thanks
