TSON – A JSON superset with immutable, hash-pinned schemas
Data with an immutable schema.TSON (Typed Schema Object Notation) is a schema system with immutable, hash-pinned schemas whose definitions are themselves data. A document names its schema, the schema names its meta-schema; one hash verifies the whole chain. Schemas are maps with a compact grammar that's easy to read and write.
