Test of new JSON instance conventions

["G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@CraneSoftwrights.com>]

Fellow UBL TC members,

In order to progress my work on the BDNDR this week, I can use some 
help from others in a quick review of the attached ZIPped three files.

Invoice.xml is a test XML instance from our distribution.

test-legacy.json is a test JSON equivalent following the "legacy 
mode" conventions of every construct being in an array in order to be 
future-proof for future versions of the schema that have unbounded 
cardinality for any item.

test-schema.json is a test JSON equivalent following the "schema 
mode" conventions of only those constructs already with unbounded 
cardinality being in an array and all other constructs not being in 
an array (because there can only ever be one of them).

Are these two instances what you were expecting to see? I need some 
confirmation before I continue with synthesizing the schema-mode 
schemas. These instances are being synthesized using an updated 
CCTSXML2JSON.xsl stylesheet I've been working on.

BTW, can anyone propose alternative names to consider for "schema 
mode"? It is the mode that is schema-aware for the unbounded 
cardinality, but it is going to be a bit ambiguous to have a 
JSON-Schema file name like invoice-schema.json for the schema-mode 
schema as opposed to invoice-legacy.json for the legacy-mode schema 
(since the word "schema" isn't in the name).

How about "model mode" and "legacy mode", with 
invoice-model-schema.json and invoice-legacy-schema.json as the 
JSON-Schema filenames? Would that be better? And the test files would 
be test-legacy.json and test-model.json.

Thank you for your prompt feedback ... I'm right at the point of 
needing a decision regarding the content of these files and the 
naming conventions to continue the work on the BDNDR.

. . . . . . Ken
