The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Constrained Resource Identifiers' (draft-ietf-core-href-28.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Constrained RESTful Environments Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Gorry Fairhurst and Mike Bishop. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-href/ Technical Summary The Constrained Resource Identifier (CRI) is a complement to the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that represents the URI components in Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) rather than as a sequence of characters. This approach simplifies parsing, comparison, and reference resolution in environments with severe limitations on processing power, code size, and memory size. This RFC updates RFC 7595 to add a note on how the "URI Schemes" registry of RFC 7595 cooperates with the "CRI Scheme Numbers" registry created by the present RFC. Working Group Summary This document has quite a long history. Its incubation began in the Thing-to-Thing RG about eight years ago. Shortly after, it was adopted by the CoRE WG. While it was paused for a time, over the past four years it has been developed by a very committed design team that has held fortnightly calls and made regular reports to the CoRE WG at various interims and face-to-face meetings. The consensus represents the *very* strong agreement among a few individuals (the DT and a small group of dedicated reviewers). Document Quality There are three independent open-source implementations (in Rust, Python and Go) listed in the Implementation Status section. Another (currently PoC) implementation in Ruby exists but is not listed in the document. The editors and early implementers developed a [test suite](https://github.com/core-wg/href/tree/main/tests) based on the specification, which has served (and will serve) as an interop & coordination tool for (future) implementers. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Thomas Fossati. The Responsible Area Director is Mike Bishop. IANA Note This document establishes one new registry ("CRI Scheme Numbers"), adds a note to the "URI Schemes" registry, and makes registrations in the "CBOR Application-Extension Identifiers", "CBOR Tags", and "CoAP Option Numbers" registries. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
