This [repository]({{page.projectpages}}) contains a
|
|
[proposal](preserves.html) and
|
|
[various implementations]({{page.projecttree}}/implementations/) of
|
|
*Preserves*, a new data model and serialization format in many ways
|
|
comparable to JSON, XML, S-expressions, CBOR, ASN.1 BER, and so on.
|
|
|
|
> **WARNING** Everything in this repository is experimental and in
|
|
> flux! The design of Preserves is not finalised and may change
|
|
> drastically. Please offer any feedback you may have with this in
|
|
