[Playlist] JSPF schema ?

[Benoît Gréant]

Hello Lucas !
Thanks for your feedback.

About your proposal, thanks - but I'm not really fluent in english (at
least, i'm not good speaking it) and it's easier for me when it's written.

How should we validate this?


This could be validated with a JSON Schema validator, like for instance
this one (package for node.js) https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsonschema.
It's quite powerful !

I implemented this in a tool i'm working on, JSPF CLI
<https://github.com/spiff-radio/jspf-cli>.  It's a command line utility
(node.js package) to convert playlists between jspf,xspf,m3u8,m3u and pls.
I never found a convertor that worked as I wanted, so... I made it.  But it
took a lot of time (too much!) and it's not perfect yet.  It's not yet
published to npmjs.com either.

When coding it, I started to write a document with some thoughts about the
XSPF/JSPF formats - I still think it needs to evolve.

You can find it here and it's open to comments :

See ya !

Benoît
