No specs

There are no specs on the website. Not a single line of info about the format itself. WTF? --213.180.126.58 (talk) 18:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are some specs on the site, possibly in some "self-made format", see http://bsonspec.org/#/specification. Steffen (talk) 13:12, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why having it here at all?

Also the site does not tell the motivation of BSON. I think DER Basic_encoding_rules would be much simpler, more efficient and more powerful.

Is this really a common technology or some private encoding of some private project? In other words, is this page worth to be in Wikipedia at all? Steffen (talk) 13:12, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles

We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

What is the point in keeping references to non-JSON based formats?

Currently, most of the references to other stuff in "See Also" is to things that are not JSON based or just uses JSON in some way. None of the seem relevant to describing BSON. Only the top 4 items, out of 13 are related to JSON, one of them being JSON itself and the other 3 being alternative binary representations of JSON (or closely related at least -- CBOR might not even count as related to JSON).

I suggest trimming this down to just the following list:

JSON
UBJSON
Smile
CBOR

In that order.

Any technology or product that uses BSON should be list as such and not simply under "See Also". 5.186.78.167 (talk) 09:41, 29 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
