Namespace used in upcoming joomla release

[Izhar Aazmi]

I just wanted to know two things regarding the current dev strategy –

1. In J3.8+, the library namespace `Joomla\CMS\` is used. Why not just `Joomla` instead? I'd like to know the considerations and intent behind it.
   
   
2. If I add new classes in J3.7.x, can I already follow the namespace convention so that it doesn't go through class_alias mapping in 3.8 and beyond?

1. This was a decission made in a code sprint https://volunteers.joomla.org/teams/joomla-4-architecture/reports/115-joomla-4-architecture-sprint-odense-dk
2. Do you mean classes in the core or your extension?

Sorry for not clarifying. In this mailing list I mean core changes (PR Joomla) unless otherwise specified.

I would say that it all depends on the pr you are doing, if it is worth to add that namespace already in 3.7 or not.

"Joomla" is the common vendor prefix for all Joomla projects (especially
the Framework). "Joomla\CMS" covers non-generic stuff only related to
the CMS.

If it works: yes.
(I'm not sure if JLoader handles that correctly ATM).

Niels

Perfect - then go for it, I'd say.
