I am attempting to use jsonix to unmarshal xml response from an SOS DescribeSensor request. In the broader scope I am going to be using jsonix to unmarshal all responses from SOS, particularly 2.0. I noticed that the response uses SML or SensorML namespace and so I added the extra module dependencies and sub-dependencies (namely GML_3_1_1, SWE_1_0_1, IC_2_0, SMIL_2_0, SMIL_2_0_Language, and of course SensorML_1_0_1). Before I added these I noticed the return was a generic json (see first screenshot, particularly near sml:physicalsystem). After I added the dependencies I got an error in my console during part of the unmarshaling process which I do not understand (see second screenshot). Here is a link to the xml response from the server for reference. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8LdnPVJpHz7M3VGb0FZc2lQcjQ/view?usp=sharing. I would really like to understand if this has anything to do with the ordering of the modules when I create the context though I believe it is fine. Once the solution to this is discovered I have two follow up questions.
Is it reasonable to expect (in general) that using the modules built from the ogc-schemas on the highsource github page should allow me to handle all responses via jsonix? i.e. every element will always be mapped to a defined type. I know these schemas/mappings are very complicated.
Are there any other tools I can use to verify the modules or validate them against schemas to make life easier rather than tracking down elements on an individual basis or tracing through various module files when jsonix seems to parse incorrectly?
Thanks in advance - Richard3d
var context = new Jsonix.Context([XLink_1_0, GML_3_2_1, IC_2_0, SMIL_2_0, SMIL_2_0_Language, GML_3_1_1, SWE_1_0_1, SensorML_1_0_1, OWS_1_1_0, SWE_2_0, SWES_2_0, WSN_T_1, WS_Addr_1_0_Core, OM_2_0, ISO19139_GMD_20070417, ISO19139_GCO_20070417, ISO19139_GSS_20070417, ISO19139_GTS_20070417, ISO19139_GSR_20070417, Filter_2_0, SOS_2_0]);
Disclaimer: I am the author of jsonix and main dev of ogc-schemas.
First of all, you're on the right track, stay on it.
Yes, if you have all the required mappings then you should get a "nice" JSON with all the properties with specific types, cardinatilities etc.
The goal of Jsonix is to provide bi-directional XML<->JSON conversion with deterministic structure, types and cardinalities.
The goal of OGC Schemas is to provide JAXB and Jsonix mappings for all of the OGC Schemas.
So togethere these two should allow to transform any OGC XMLs from/to JSON.
"Generic JSON" was actually just DOM. If a property allows DOM and Jsonix does not have mapping for certain element, it is just taken as DOM. You were just missing SensorML mappings.
You're right the structure of schema dependencies is very complex. But this is something we should take to OGC. :) It's a bit crazy that you need, like, a dozen of schemas to read sensor data. I was actually intending to build automatic loading of dependencies but did not yet implement this feature.
The next GML_3_1_1.AbstractFeatureType problem is probably this issue. Try changing the order of mappings (move GML_3_1_1 to the earlier places). Actually the order of mappings should not be significant, but, well, there's a bug.
Tools to cross-check - no, probably not. My approach is to do roundtrip tests (unmarshal-marshal-unmarshal-check equality). From experience, there are normally a couple of caveats at the start, but then it works by design. Of course there are bugs in Jsonix and there may be problems with mappings, but this gets sorted out.
Also feel to create a support project here:
https://github.com/highsource/jsonix-support
For instance https://github.com/highsource/jsonix-support/s/sos.
Here's an example of such a support project:
https://github.com/highsource/jsonix-support/tree/master/l/lightstalker89
I need this because just downloading XML from Google Drive (a) takes me effort to set up the support project (b) legally dangerous as I have not idea where this XML comes from and if I have rights/license to add these files to my test suites.

I'm parsing AST with typescript-estree's parse function and traversing the tree with simpleTraverse to identify and collect metadata about different nodes. I read in this issue discussion that simpleTraverse is intentionally not documented as it's only intended for usage by other ESlint packages, which makes sense.
My question is whether it's fine to use as is, or whether there's another tool I should be using. I have tried other common traversal tools, but the types are incomplete and / or conflict with what's provided by #typescript-eslint/typescript-estree. Another option is to copy the simpleTraverse code.
Thanks in advance! I really appreciate this project and the community supporting it. ❤️
I'm building a single page application in Elm and was having difficulty deciding how to split my code in files.
I ended up splitting it using 1 module per page and have Main.elm convert the Html and Cmd emitted by each page using Cmd.map and Html.map.
My issue is that the documentation for both Cmd.map and Html.map says that :
This is very rarely useful in well-structured Elm code, so definitely read the section on structure in the guide before reaching for this!
I checked the only 2 large apps I'm aware of :
elm-spa-example uses Cmd.map (https://github.com/rtfeldman/elm-spa-example/blob/cb32acd73c3d346d0064e7923049867d8ce67193/src/Main.elm#L279)
I was not able to figure out how https://github.com/elm/elm-lang.org
deals with the issue.
Also, both answers to this stackoverflow question suggest using Cmd.map without second thoughts.
Is Cmd.map the "right" way to split a single page application in modules ?
I think sometimes you just have to do what's right for you. I used the Cmd.map/Sub.map/Html.map approach for an application I wrote that had 3 "pages" - Initializing, Editing and Reporting.
I wanted to make each of these pages its own module as they were relatively complicated, each had a fair number of messages that are only relevant to each page, and it's easier to reason about each page independently in its own context.
The downside is that the compiler won't prevent you from receiving the wrong message for a given page, leading to a runtime error (e.g., if the application receives an Editing.Save when it is in the Reporting page, what is the correct behavior? For my specific implementation, I just log it to the console and move on - this was good enough for me (and it never happened anyway); Other options I've considered include displaying a nasty error page to indicate that something horrible has happened - a BSOD if you will; Or to simply reset/reinitialize the entire application).
An alternative is to use the effect pattern as described extensively in this discourse post.
The core of this approach is that :
The extended Effect pattern used in this application consists in definining an Effect custom type that can represent all the effects that init and update functions want to produce.
And the main benefits :
All the effects are defined in a single Effect module, which acts as an internal API for the whole application that is guaranteed to list every possible effect.
Effects can be inspected and tested, not like Cmd values. This allows to test all the application effects, including simulated HTTP requests.
Effects can represent a modification of top level model data, like the Session 3 when logging in 3, or the current page when an URL change is wanted by a subpage update function.
All the update functions keep a clean and concise Msg -> Model -> ( Model, Effect Msg ) 2 signature.
Because Effect values carry the minimum information required, some parameters like the Browser.Navigation.key are needed only in the effects perform 3 function, which frees the developer from passing them to functions all over the application.
A single NoOp or Ignored String 25 can be used for the whole application.
I have been searching the official docs and existing questions and could not find any information on this - in Elm, how it would be possible to see the members/methods/variables that belong to or are exposed by a package in Elm, (such as the dir method in python), without having to dive into the source code each time?
What I want to do is get a simple list of what methods are exposed by an imported package. (So for a package like List, it should output reverse , all, any, map, etc.) I have attempted tab completion in elm repl and the elm extension available in VS code editor, and elm repl does not offer any methods such as help, doc, ?, dir, man, etc., so I have no idea where to even start. I'm wondering how everyone else does this other than pulling up the source code for each and every package they use.
I apologize for the newbie question and if I misread or have been missing anything, but I couldn't even find anything in the https://elmprogramming.com tutorial. Thanks in advance.
Nothing like this exists in Elm to do reflection over modules, unfortunately (as of 0.19.1, at least).
However, if you aren't looking to actually do this kind of thing at runtime, but rather as a convenient way of finding out for development, the elm packaging system enforces the requirement that all public functions are documented, so if you visit the package page, every public function and type will be documented there (obviously it can't enforce the content of the documentation, but at the very least it will be listed).
I want to evaluate my content blocks before running my test suite but the closures' property names is in bytecode already. I'm ooking for the cleanest solution (compared with parsing source manually).
Already tried solution outlined in this post (and I'd still wind up doing some RegEx/parsing) but could only get it to work via script execution engine. It failed in IDE and GroovyConsole. Rather than embedding a Groovy script in project's code, I thought I'd try using Geb's native classes.
Is building on the suggestion about extending Geb Navigators here viable for Geb's PageContentSupport class whose contentTemplates contain a LinkedHashMap of exactly what I need? If yes, would someone provide guidance? If no, any suggestions?
It is currently not possible to get hold of all content elements for a given page/module. Feel free to create an issue for this in Geb's bug tracker, but remember that all that Geb can provide is either a list of content element names or a map from these names to closures that create these elements.
Having that information isn't a generic solution to your problem because it's possible for content elements to take parameters and there are situations where your content elements will be available on the page only after some other actions are performed (for example you have to click on button to reveal a section of a page that uses ajax to retrieve it's content). So I'm afraid that simply going over all elements and checking if they don't throw any errors will not cut it.
I'm still struggling to see what would "evaluating" all content elements prior to running the suite buy you. Are you after verifying that your content elements still work to get a faster feedback than running the whole suite? I'm pretty sure that you won't be able to fully automate detection of content definitions that don't work anymore. In my view it will be more effort than it's worth.
Can image resizer output image paths that don't contain query strings? Could not find this anywhere in documentation or googling it.
This page (http://imageresizing.net/docs/extend/extending) says that custom plugins can "Perform URL rewriting or query string expansion by registering an event handler."
Is there such a plugin, ready to be used? If so, anyone have a link?
FolderResizeSyntax is one such plugin (which simply adds and event handler to Config.Current.Pipeline.Rewrite), but you probably shouldn't use it.
Ask yourself: Why does pingdom say to remove query strings? Does it even make sense? Is there any logic behind the rule?
Query strings are often added to static resources as cache breakers and for development purposes; often they're forgotten and make it into production.
In the case of ImageResizer, they're an essential, meaningful part of the URL. Rewriting consistent name/value pairs (the querystring) into a custom URL syntax might be trendy and hip, but it adds brittleness and complexity for no actual added value.
If you have a real-world, known issues with querystrings, try the CloudFront plugin. It lets you express querystrings as image.jpg;width=100;height=100 instead of image.jpg?width=100&height=100. You still lose compatibility with all kinds of RIAPI-compliant front-end and back-end tooling, so make sure this is a real, not theoretical, issue.
