Test cases and tools for Universal Binary JSON

[Dmitry Razumikhin]

Hi all!

Alpha-version of "ubjson-test-suite" done.

Now it contain a block-notation online parser for generating test case files:
http://dmitry-ra.github.io/ubjson-test-suite/blocks-parser.html

It also support a "$" and "#" optimizations (as described in Draft 10): http://bit.ly/1tSsAjU

Plan for beta: make a node.js version for batch processing block-notation files and generate set of test files to close GitHub issues #8 and #9.

Any feedback is appreciated.

P.S.
This message has an attached file: UBJSON-Response.ubj.
This is a binary serialized sample from http://ubjson.org/type-reference/ page (JSON response from GitHub docs).

Very cool Dmitry - appreciate you putting this together!

Hi Dmitry,

Awesome! Great work!
But as far as I see your project becomes not an some generic test
suite, but a tool to test generic UBJSON/JSON data. I believe, that
would be the next iteration step, right?

In other words, my project is a tool for generating files for testing other implementations.
You can make test files by hand using HEX-editor, or just write textual representation using block-notation and convert to binary. Of course it's not a reference implementation, but a tool for "tasting" an specification.

For example: in discussion (https://github.com/thebuzzmedia/universal-binary-json/issues/51) we operate with block notation like this:

[{][#][S][Z]
  [i][4][name][i][3][bob]
  [i][8][password][i][8][pass1234]
  [i][4][role][i][5][admin]
[}]

You can load this to a tool and get binary representation without a reference implementation: http://bit.ly/1m6nhii (for this example it have incorrect highlighting, but valid binary result).
We can compare binary sizes of different proposals without manual calculation etc.
So currently this is a "temporary reference implementation for debug purposes".
