After merging TypeProviders into master ( https://github.com/fsharp/fsharpx/pull/45 ), the JSON type provider broke for some reason, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong.

Can anyone please take a look?

Cheers,

Mauricio

Ok, the problem is the incompatible FSharp.Core.dll (4.5 vs. the custom lib in FSharpx.Core)

At the moment we can't depent on FSharpx.Core in FSharpx.TypeProviders. Which is very unfortunate.

I had the same issue witth FSharpx.Http (where I replaced the FSharp.Core.dll)

That's one of the reason why I kept the stuff in the TypeProviders branch. I don't really know how to solve this.

I disabled the JSON provider for the moment, since I want to rebuild it from the XML provider.

I'll try to fix later today.

We need ideas how to structure the projects in order to make it build.

I just started a new thread to discuss this. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/fsharpx/_PcAEpH-cFQ

What's the incompatible FSharp.Core.dll? As far as I know we're using the standard ones.

I think he means that we are using a bin-deployed assembly rather than the GAC'd assembly.

You said you added the 4.5 assemblies now?

Yup, they're in https://github.com/fsharp/fsharpx/tree/master/lib/FSharp/Net45

By the way, great work on getting this working. I was really surprised when Tomas showed his XmlProvider since Don seemed so sure that this wouldn't work for JSON or XML. This gives me great hope for my HTTP provider, as soon as I can get to it. I'm still working out the parser. Just to verify, a parser is still needed, right?

The new JSON provider is nearly ready. But in my local repo. Will push tomorrow

I contacted Ayende Rahien if I could make a type provider for a no-SQL database (RavenDB). Raven uses much like JSON data structures inside but I don't know how much they are visible to outside.

The gain would be just to know what you have in your DB without your client software. Maybe for some kind of data analysis...

He didn't quite follow so I assume while this could be possible, it won't be a 3 hours of work.
