JSON <> XML <> YAML conversion
Ongoing conversation of the scope and details of various conversion topics, including
Description, DecisionType, etc.
One option to address this is to convert these elements in (XML v3.0) to
attributes. No agreement on this option. Description is the uniqe case, due to
formatting requirements.
There was general consensus that the ACAL specification focuses on a single direction
for conversion, while being aware that bidirectional cross language conversion will be
likely (and should be a consideration in design decisions).
An issue will be created on gitHub to discuss this further.
Next meeting will be on 15 January 2026 (5 weeks)
meeting adjourned.
