daniel.cotter@HQ.DHS.GOV Subject: New NIEM JSON Guidance NIEM EM Domain Members and Stakeholders, New NIEM Program guidance and documentation on adopting _javascript_ Object Notation (JSON) as a second standard format for representing data based on the NIEM data model is now available at
https://niem.github.io/json/ . Until recently, XML has been the single format for NIEM data. The new JSON guidance provides you with a roadmap for using NIEM in an entirely new way. The NIEM Program has developed new documentation that explains the purpose of NIEM, the reasons to use NIEM with JSON data, and key information for putting NIEM JSON into practice, including: A NIEM JSON Tutorial NIEM and JSON Frequently Asked Question A NIEM JSON Reference Guide Plus…There’s More to Come While the new NIEM JSON information is comprehensive, it does remain a work in progress. Continued refinement in the following areas is in progress: - Technical specifications defining NIEM JSON conformance targets to accompany the existing NIEM XML conformance targets are in development. - The beta version of the NIEM JSON specification is anticipated to be ready for community review and feedback in May 2018. - Open source tools that will help developers switch between JSON and XML (and perhaps other serializations) by creating translators for runtime data and conversions for build-time artifacts are in the planning stages.
