Artur, I think you are in the mainstream in pushing for json to replace
xml, and maybe it's a good push. However, in this specific situation we
got import functions (for the specific xml produced from gretl's bwrite)
for R and Python in essentially zero time. IMHO this proves that there's
no need to switch to json in this particular case. Once you have your
data in the foreign block (R or Python) in a native format, you can do
with it anything you like, including doing json-based stuff.
Currently, gretl can read-in json-files and converts them into a
bundle or array of bundles.
Right, and perhaps json could therefore be the format of choice for the
direction Python -> gretl. Do you think you could write a Python
function that produces something that's readable with gretl's jsongetb?
But there is no way function for writing a bundle's underlying
xml-structure in json-format.
I think it would be doable to write a hansl function
for this which
could go into the "extra" package.
cheers
