| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Should we use WebDAV? ====
| |
| − | Reasons For:
| |
| − | * reduces our development effort as this protocol is designed for resource synchronization. And that's what we're doing
| |
| − | * mature, widely supported. Being used in new projects such as Mozilla Weave.
| |
| − | Reasons Against:
| |
| − | * Not RESTful. WebDAV extends the HTTP verb set. As such is deprecated by the W3C.
| |
| − | * Can interfere with web cache architectures
| |
| − | Decision:
| |
| − | * We will NOT use WebDAV
| |

| |
| − | ==== Should we use Google protocol buffers? ====
| |
| − | Reasons For:
| |
| − | * Mature
| |
| − | * High performance
| |
| − | * Good libraries in both C++ and Java
| |
| − | Reasons Against:
| |
| − | * Question: Might using protobuf reduce the likelyhood of the CardSpace team collaborating with us and potentially using the [[CardSync Web App]]? <-- an outcome that would increase interoperability in the industry
| |
| − | Decision:
| |
| − | * We will NOT use Google protocol buffers
