So, ... moving the discussion here from sourceforge's tracker :<br><br>> @Sébastien will you write a .json -> .pd converter too?<br><br>Rich, notice the double arrow ".json <-> .pd" ;)<br><br>> the proposal is for a new, easier to read / parse, format for existing patches. This facilities writing/reading patches in other languages (such as javascript, C / C++ / Obj-C / Java, etc.), since you wouldn't need to write the text file in a cryptic form.<br>
<br>Yes, exactly ... well said !<br><br>Like Rich said also, it would be good to have input from some pd veterans.<br>For one thing, just to get feedback and comments, but also to know if it has any chances to be implemented one day in pure data. Indeed, right now the file format is THE bridge between pd, libpd, webpd and others ... so if some of the libraries implement this format and not others, it might end up just putting mess and fragmenting the pd world. So ... waiting an answer from pd-devs on whether or not this might be implemented :) ! And what about libpd devs ?<br>
