football.json - Football Data in JSON - Request for Comments on Format

[Gerald Bauer]

Hello,

I've started a new football.json repo [1]. The idea is to offer -
surprise, surprise -football data in JSON.

What's different?

The idea is that the JSON gets (auto-)generated from the football.db
datasets.Thus, if you want to change anything in the JSON. Don't.
Change the source and (re)generate the JSON.

To start off the new repo includes the (complete) seaons's match
schedule in a single file and as an extra file all clubs.


Bundesliga 2015/16 Match Schedule Example - 2015-16/de.1.json [2]:

{
"name": "Deutsche Bundesliga 2015/16",
"rounds": [
{
"name": "1. Spieltag",
"matches": [
{
"date": "2015-08-14",
"team1": {
"key": "bayern",
"name": "Bayern München",
"code": "FCB"
},
"team2": {
"key": "hamburg",
"name": "Hamburger SV",
"code": "HSV"
},
"score1": 5,
"score2": 0
},
{
"date": "2015-08-15",
"team1": {
"key": "bremen",
"name": "Werder Bremen",
"code": "WBM"
},
"team2": {
"key": "schalke",
"name": "FC Schalke 04",
"code": "F04"
},
"score1": 0,
"score2": 3
},
...
]
}
]
}


Bundesliga 2015/16 Clubs Example - 2015-16/de.1.clubs.json [3]:

{
"name": "Deutsche Bundesliga 2015/16",
"clubs": [
{
"key": "bayern",
"name": "Bayern München",
"code": "FCB"
},
{
"key": "hamburg",
"name": "Hamburger SV",
"code": "HSV"
},
...
]
}


That's it. If you have any comments, suggestions about the format
(or the project).
Now is good time to join the discussion ;-)

Cheers.

Hello,
If anyone follows along I've added some more seasons (e.g. 2013/14
[1], 2014/15 [2], 2015/16 [3], etc.) and added the English Premier
League, the Deutsche Bundesliga and the Österr. Bundesliga.

The repo structure (designed for requests) is now:
