Re: [xliff-omos] jliff-example1-0.9.3.json

Creating an object with a text property is more aesthetic and symmetric indeed. Improves on POLA of the design, which is always a good thing.

A couple years back I was working on a project where we were using an ad-hoc JSON-based serialization to send translation data to a browser, and we actually did something very similar to what Phil is proposing -- wrap text as an object with a dummy type field.  The thinking was that it would simplify the implementation.  I've never tried it the other way (ie, the way it's currently proposed), so maybe I should do some comparing about whether it makes it a lot harder to work with.

Apologies for my various contradictions with myself. I have a bad habit of making statements, walking away from my code and then thinking of a way to move forward.

 

It appears that I can override how my various subclasses write themselves to the serializer. Doing this does let me write out per the example in GitHub. It makes
 deserialization slightly more work.

I’ve played a bit more with my implementation and I’m not sure that jliff-example1-0.9.3.json can be achieved with a strongly typed language. Even with interfaces I cannot do:

 

…

“source”: [

            { “id”: “c1”, “kind”: “ph” },

            “AAA”,

            { “id”: “c1”, “kind”: “ph” }

]

 

The closest would probably be:

 

“source”: [

            { “id”: “c1”, “kind”: “ph” },

            { “text”: “AAA” },

            { “id”: “c1”, “kind”: “ph” }

]
