Subject: RE: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [cti] JSON or what???
CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED My attempt to identify that we need to be careful of making and agreeing to very generaI statements. I disagree with the principle generalization in statement #1 below. Not all developers prefer JSON and just because they prefer it does not mean they are more familiar with it. They may have been using xml for years now also. In addition, just because they prefer it and may be more familiar with it does not mean it is easier. #3 below is an implication that namespacing is bad. In our world of multiple terms and specifications that have a lot of similarities, between communities of interest, namespacing is a god send. If we are going to make statements such as these two we need them to be backed by documented requirements, reference and/or statistics (I know statistics can be manipulated).

You can see what we did in JSON TAXII and compare that with XML TAXII and get a really good idea of how it would look in STIX land. 1) Remember the reason it will be easier is developers prefer JSON and thus are more familiar with working with it. 2) JSON types map to code type 3) No namespace and xsi-type cruft to deal with 4) Generally a flatter and easier to consume structure. Yes it will take a bit of work to get the JSON binding done. It is not as simple as just a direct conversion from XML. Using the UML models to go to JSON versions the XSDs to go to JSON is a LOT easier.

I hear a lot of statements about the simplicity of JSON and yet I hear that a straight transform from XML to JSON isn’t so pretty. I suspect a bunch of us have read papers, presentations, etc, but for me I like to see something real in a head to head comparison. By any chance are they any samples that show a comparison between a STIX example in the XML format and the proposed JSON format? What would be great would be if someone would take a handful of the idioms for STIX and show the equivalent in JSON.

In short Why JSON? Could you put more efforts on showing us how you can convince majority of us? Study papers, presentations with pros/cons...

We had several discussions about JSON in the past with no result of a complete STIX implementation. XML to JSON, as a format, can be done. I think we should show the JSON validation mechanism(s) that will be used by the CTI/SC to assure producers/consumers that we can provide means of testing schema/spec conformity. -Marlon CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIED
