ipld / ipld-examples Goto Github PK

It should be:

Datastructure examples to use with IPLD, the new data format for IPFS.

Right now it is null.

I like the way JSON pointer was originally envisioned. The idea that one could navigate a json tree in the same way we navigate paths

{people: [{name: "Nicola"}, {name: "Juan"}]}

/people
>  [{name: "Nicola"}, {name: "Juan"}]}

/people/0
> {name: "Nicola"}

/people/0/name
> "Nicola"

I remember the original ipld notes alluded at this and I found this so interesting. The first three examples seem very similar to this. However, the only limitation is on how we would like to follow/resolve links..

{people: [{@mlink: "hash!?"}, ..]}

Should this be moved to the IPLD organization? See ipld/ipld#15.

CSON is a very nice superset of (well formatted) JSON, which notably allows for comments. I prefer it over yaml myself, so wanted to make sure you're aware of it @jbenet ... Ultimately just a color preference tho.
