Subject: New NIEM JSON Guidance 

 

NIEM EM Domain Members and Stakeholders,

 

New NIEM Program guidance and documentation on adopting _javascript_ Object Notation (JSON) as a second standard format for representing data based on the NIEM data model is now available at
https://niem.github.io/json/. 

 

Until recently, XML has been the single format for NIEM data. The new JSON guidance provides you with a roadmap for using NIEM in an entirely new way. The NIEM Program has developed new documentation that explains
 the purpose of NIEM, the reasons to use NIEM with JSON data, and key information for putting NIEM JSON into practice, including:

 

A NIEM JSON Tutorial

NIEM and JSON Frequently Asked Question

A NIEM JSON Reference Guide

Plus…There’s More to Come

 

While the new NIEM JSON information is comprehensive, it does remain a work in progress. Continued refinement in the following areas is in progress:

 

- Technical specifications defining NIEM JSON conformance targets to accompany the existing NIEM XML conformance targets are in development.

- The beta version of the NIEM JSON specification is anticipated to be ready for community review and feedback in May 2018.

- Open source tools that will help developers switch between JSON and XML (and perhaps other serializations) by creating translators for runtime data and conversions for build-time artifacts are in the planning
 stages.

 

Emergency Management Domain members and stakeholders are
encouraged to share feedback at the Program level via the GitHub site at 
https://github.com/NIEM/NIEM.github.io/issues or by email  . Domain specific feedback or enquiries related to technical assistance, training or EM domain data model alignment,
 please contact us via email at 
.
