I found this LaurieWired video quite interesting and ironic — about software standards banning exceptions.

"If a computation takes too long someone may die."

This, in relation to the JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER AIR VEHICLE — an instrument of death.

Oh, well. Can't be helped.

Interesting stuff if you don't think too much about its application. And even if you do.

New blog post: Process algebra and JSONPath descendant segment semantics

Non-deterministic behaviour in a specification can be a headache for testing. This updated post explores the non-determinism in the JSONPath RFC 9535, describes how the Compliance Test Suite is being upgraded to deal with non-determinism, and shows how non-deterministic tests can be generated automatically. There's also an "explosive" challenge for Haskell programmers.

The IETF have kindly cross-posted a minor variation of my post to their blog: https://www.ietf.org/blog/jsonpath-rfc/

#IETF #RFC9535 #JSONPath #SoftwareStandards

The JSONPath RFC 9535 has been published.

https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html

That was 17 years since the original JSONPath blog post and a little over three years since a number of us started collaborating on an internet draft.
