Leif K/V
Not something that I would expect to implement but rather my views are based on tracking the work of NETCONF and RESTCONF, the latter being JSON. I see the difficulties encounterd in the definition of RESTCONF and am very clear that JSON as a language is incomplete and somewhat loosely defined, sloppy even. I do not see the availability of libraries as affecting this - if the underlying technology is incomplete and loosely defined, then what a library that implements just that technology has to offer will perforce be incomplete and loosely defiined. K/V I find precise and unambiguous.
