2026 Revision Series

The specification is a 2026 working draft. Each revision is published under its own path and kept there permanently, so a hash-pinned reference into a revision never breaks when the next one opens. Revision 33 is the working draft; earlier revisions are retained as-published.

When the draft is finalised it will be published as TSON version 1 and frozen; until then the series is subject to change without compatibility guarantees.

• Revision 33Current working draft

  In progress. Adopts CR-structure-templates in full: cross-namespace template linkage removed, the container constructors de-parameterised, and a sugar form for the map type that mirrors the data notation. Also adjudicates the 59-entry implementation feedback register from revision 32 — the change log carries a disposition for every input.

• Revision 32Retained revision

  Editorial refactor: non-normative rationale and design history moved to the developer guide, and the series framing restated around the type system. Carries the schema-mapping and implementation-feedback reports prepared as input to revision 33.
