| + | Configuration objects are represented as a JSON object. The Access API allows you to grab the configuration object via a stream. This example shows a fully populated configuration object. The "ui" object and "job" object are optional. | ||
| - | Mumble Mumble... early thoughts of the configuration file format. | + | The "ui" object will contain all the value, or none. For the "job" object, any one of the values may not be present. |

| - | Notes: | ||
| - | * Cycleline, haulpath, and warningarea may have zero or more instances. | ||
| - | * Other values have precisely one entry. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The current thinking is that the server traffics in the XML format, while the client applications have helper objects to deal with it. A model is similar to the Bundle class in Android that lets you do things like: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code> | ||
| - | boolean gpsIsVisible = config.getBoolean("ui.gps.visible", true); | ||
| - | double blankspeed = config.getDouble("ui.screenblanking.visible", 37.5); | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Helper classes for the config object would be coded for Java and C++. | ||

| - | ===== JSON Alternative ===== | ||
| - | Thinking about XML points out that working with XML is a pain in the butt. The parsers are ugly to work with, and the readability of an XML fragment is not a good as desired. JSON is an alternative that is portable across systems, and much more readable. Here are some thoughts RE: using JSON for the management directive format. | ||
