Subject: Re: [csaf] [CSAF JSON Schema] Combining "document____" properties


A nested JSON property structure may be valuable here.

e.g.

“document”: {
    “tracking”: “Back to Eric"
    “notes”: “Another suggested approach"
    “references”: [“Eric”, “Allan”]
    “distribution”: “Don’t send to Allan"
}

Introducing ‘/’ separation requires parsers to know what the separator character is and introduces complexity that does not exist if the properties are separately defined without structure as you suggest.

 

If a product or software instance wants to create structure from those attributes that is easy done after parsing the properties into an object model/object database.

 

I suggest keeping the original properties.

Subject: [csaf] [CSAF JSON Schema] Combining "document____" properties

 

 

It seems to me that these should simply be combined under one "document" property, as in:

 

/document/tracking

/document/notes

/document/references

/document/distribution

 

Any objections to this reorganization?

 

(Note, this stems from an observation about the CVRF documents - such a document consists of three large chunks of data - information about the document itself, information about products, and information about vulnerabilities. Perhaps the top level properties of the JSON document should reflect that?)

 

Eric.
