I agree that json format is most accepted format among applications to communicate but this json is programme friendly , We needed something user friendly where we can pass comments comments as part of connector configuration. Features of Hjson :- # We are allowed to use comments # We are allowed to pass json as part of connector configuration key without escaping it which is very user friendly. (We have modified version of kafka-connect-elasticsearch where user can pass index mapping part of connector properties). Please find attached connector configuration in Json and Hjson. We are already running this in production. I have introduced HJSON filter on POST and PUT apis of kafka connect !image-2018-12-18-10-07-22-944.png! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
