Precedence and Reference

They Came, They Saw, They Conquered

Rome wasn't built in one day json-schema, from json Media Type for JavaScript Object Notation, itself firmly based on the ECMAScript Language Specification that came before and schema definitely not the first of its kind and quite likely not going to be the last. We may have the pick of the crop from any of the blueprints at our disposal, by adapting to what we already know, instead of trying to create something new, we will level out the learning curve an facilitate adoption without undue resistance.

JSON

• RFC-4627 - The application/json Media Type for JavaScript Object Notation (JSON)
• ECMA-262 - ECMAScript Language Specification 3rd edition
• ECMA-262 - ECMAScript Language Specification edition 5.1
  Already adopted by JägerMonkey, WebKit and V8 which arguably makes 3rd edition obsolete.

Schema

• XML Schema Part 1: Structures Second Edition
• XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition
• Expressing SNMP SMI Datatypes in XML Schema Definition Language - RFC 5935
• Resource Description Framework (RDF):Concepts and Abstract Syntax
• RDF/XML Syntax Specification
• Resource Description Framework (RDF):Concepts and Abstract Syntax
• [A MIME Content-Type for Directory Information RFC 2425] (http://pretty-rfc.herokuapp.com/RFC2425)
