Puppet / Improvement PUP-10656
Provide a JSON terminus for facts
Issue Type: Improvement Improvement
Assignee: Unassigned
Created: 2020/09/02 11:04 AM
Priority: Normal Normal
Reporter: Justin Stoller

We have a YAML terminus for facts, however YAML can problematic for hexidecimal numbers (see PUP-...).

Additionally, JSON is generally a better serialization format for machines to understand, is a smaller spec than YAML, has a relatively mature ecosystem in Java around parsing/serializing, and is backwards compatible with YAML for recent YAML parsers (YAML has become a superset of JSON).

For these reasons we should implement a JSON terminus for facts (there already exists one for catalogs) and users should be encouraged to use it instead of the YAML terminus.

Release Notes Summary: Added This adds a new JSON terminus for puppet facts application allowing them to be stored and loaded as json. Puppet agents will continue to default to YAML , similar with but JSON can be used by configuring the "agent" application in routes.yaml:

---
agent:
  facts:
    terminus: facter
    cache: json

In addition, Puppetserver 7 caches facts *by default* as JSON instead of YAML . The old yaml terminus that was already there can be reenabled via `routes . yaml`.
