TSON – A JSON superset with immutable, hash-pinned schemas
Summary
TSON is a schema system with immutable, hash-pinned schemas and a Unicode-first superset of JSON. It provides data and schema documents that are verifiable via hash chaining, supports rich schema features (records, arrays, enums, templates), and offers a Java implementation with a CLI to validate data against schemas. The article outlines versioning, compatibility, and a roadmap for multiple encodings beyond JSON.
