Status of Binary Proposals

[Frank Celler]

I'm trying to find out about the status of a binary datatype in 
CommonJS. Unfortunately, CommonJS lists quite a lot of proposals under 
http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Binary. Searching this group I ended up 
with some two year old messages. Has any progress been made in that field?

I need to implement a binary datatype in JSON and I am total unsure 
which proposal I should follow. I do not have many requirements. 
Basically, extracting a binary object from a database and putting it 
into a request body. Therefore http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Binary/Lite 
will be enough for me. But most other platforms seem to have chosen 
Binary/B.

Any help, pointers, suggestins welcome,
   Frank

Hi Frank;

Binary/B is the one which was "standardized".  Additional work was done on subsequent proposals to find something of greater use and less weight, but that work is essentially unfinished IIRC.
