Support JSON-Schema or JSON-LD about jsonfp HOT 6 CLOSED

I've updated README to show what's the format of a JSON-fp program. It's definition/grammar is actually quite simple. As to JSON-schema or JSON-LD, I think they're beautiful standards. A possible use case may be to allow servers which accept JSON-fp programs to specify what kind of input data they would accept. The other area is to specify what options are acceptable to data operators, but it may up to application developers to decide?

What if the input format look something like

{
  "input": {
    "type": "json-schema",
    "schema": {
     "stuff": "here"
    }
  }
}

The input key could be optional, and it'd have a type property that might be a mimetype for the schema format, and then it can have a schema property for the actual schema. Then it'd be easy to allow developers to use whatever specific format they want, while still having a standard way of declaring it.

Yes, that would be nice. The input data negotiation may be done at the transport layer on top of JSON-fp, sort of contract negotiation. It seems to me a API server is needed to come up with a service contract (such as accepted input format, computing resource approval, etc) with its peer, and then hand down the program to JSON-fp to execute.

Ah, so a JSON-fp program wouldn't have a schema for the input by default, and whatever is built on top of JSON-fp should handle input validation?

from jsonfp.

I'm kind of in favor of that. Developers can decide how strictly they want to guard their input. For servers running inside a closed system, people may choose to have green light for all internal traffic.
That does not mean input validation is not important. Just to make the whole mechanism more flexible. Actually it may be worth of another project to do input validation among other things (such as throttling the input data, resource negotiation and allocation, etc).

Yeah, that makes sense. I'll close the issue in the meantime.
