Ralf Handl commented on ODATA-589:
----------------------------------

After talking to JavaScript programmers that would consume the parsed metadata I made the following changes:
- hashes instead of arrays if multi-occurring child elements have a unique key (e.g. Namespace identifies schemas, Name identifies Schema children, Name identifies properties within a structured type, Name identifies function/action parameters)
- lowerCamelCased names for CSDL elements and attributes (e.g. nullable, maxLength): more in sync with mainstream JavaScript naming conventions
- pluralized names for multi-occuring CSDL elements (e.g. entityTypes, properties): more in sync with mainstream JavaScript naming conventions

The links now lead to updated versions of the XSL transformation and example JSON files. In addition there is

> Add a JSON version of the CSDL and metadata document.  This seems like a natural feature to support since all other responses (including the metadata service responses) can be formatted using JSON.
