 @jleedev yeah I guess I'm curious as to what the "processor" is here. the implementations I've seen have all been just throwing JSON together as you would normally or parsing it normally with hard-coded rules. I haven't seen an implementation where the context gets consulted, but I'm also not well versed in this technology. @darius if this is annoying LMK and I will take you off these mentions 5 comments
 @nasser @jleedev @darius right; I'm actually kinda curious about the difference between "all the stuff JSON-LD is capable of as a standard" vs "the way JSON-LD gets used by ActivityPub and its implementations" I get the feeling that the latter is a lot more just "a document with hyperlinks" and the ontology stuff doesn't really come into play in a serious way, but maybe I've just been looking in the wrong places  @technomancy @nasser @jleedev I've never encountered it as anything but "json with hyperlinks" in an AP context @darius @technomancy @jleedev and, crucially, the differentiation between strings that are hyperlinks to be followed and strings that are just strings is captured directly in the software, as opposed to consulting some kind of schema in a meaningful way @nasser @darius @technomancy @jleedev so are we saying that AP could have just used straight JSON and lost essentially nothing? |
