Re: [xacml] Shorthand notation of the default XACML 3.0 categories in JSON

[David Brossard <david.brossard@axiomatics.com>]

I don't agree here.

The main point of the JSON profile is to make a request and response more human-readable.

If it was just about software-processing and efficiency, we should go for some binary format e.g. Apache Thrift.

Why not reduce the number of characters as these are processed by software?

Res, Act,Env,AccessSubj,RecipientSubj,IntSubj,code,ReqMac etc?

Just a thought, David.

Convention:

• Capitalize all words in TitleCase
• Remove all non alphanumerical characters
• Names must start with a letter, not a number

 

Any objections? AccessSubject does contain a triple S in the middle

 

Cheers,

David.
