Additional Data Types

[dbrgn]

I'm currently using your LPP serialization format in one of my applications. I like the general approach. However, do I understand it correctly that LPP is currently only defined for the data types listed here?

There are more object types and resources available in the IPSO docs, but the data types are not really specified.

To get support for new data types (e.g. distance), would you accept pull requests with suggestions?

Also, is the format versioned? Right now, if you would add new data formats, I wouldn't know if a library that claims to support the LPP format supports those new types or not.

+1 for this, versioning would be nice as well. I would also like to have something like custom/vendor type(s) which can be used for arbitrary types required by the application. This can be just a range allocated for such use-cases.

lorawan-server also seems to define additional types - https://github.com/gotthardp/lorawan-server/blob/5b70b65ad838f72d383c98f13a3fdbad0a6800b3/src/lorawan_application_backend.erl#L329

Any feedback from myDevices about this?

More data typers would be nice, so we don't have to invent our own types.
