Dead?

[pykler]

Is orderly dead? if yes, then do you personally use JSON Schema directly, or perhaps nothing? If not, then is anybody working on getting it up to the version 3 draft, as well as making it work with Yajl2 (it currently only compiles against Yajl 1.X)?

I still use it, however I solely use it for documentation purposes and not for any schema generation. For just documentation, I find it works well as is with the addition of a convention for referencing other defined "types" (as opposed to just inlining the other type within the current object's Orderly description). The Orderly docs actually mention adding a representation for these sort of references but as you've noted no spec updates seem to be forthcoming.

Yeah, I do use orderly occasionally. I integrated into the first version of node-convict. I think it's still useful for documentation, or interface specification and validation in non-javascript environments.

But no, I don't really have any time to spend on it - though gosh, upgrading to yajl2 should be pretty straightforward.
