Description : JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS) (Go library)
Cryptographic operations like hashing and signing depend on that the
target data does not change during serialization, transport, or parsing.
By applying the rules defined by JCS (JSON Canonicalization Scheme),
data provided in the JSON [RFC8259
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8259)] format can be exchanged "as is",
while still being subject to secure cryptographic operations. JCS
achieves this by building on the serialization formats for JSON
primitives as defined by ECMAScript [ES (https://ecma-
international.org/ecma-262/)], constraining JSON data to the I-JSON
[RFC7493 (https://tools.ietf.org/html//rfc7493)] subset, and through a
platform independent property sorting scheme.
.
Public RFC: (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8785)
.
The JSON Canonicalization Scheme concept in a nutshell:
.
* Serialization of primitive JSON data types using methods compatible
with ECMAScript's JSON.stringify()
* Lexicographic sorting of JSON Object properties in a *recursive*
process
* JSON Array data is also subject to canonicalization, *but element
order remains untouched*
