Episode notes
Benefit of Data Orientation
- Data orientation offers freedom to work at different levels of meaning within your data.
- This allows seamless transitions between raw data and higher-level interpretations.
Layers of Meaning
- Eric Normand uses the example of JSON representing an HTTP request to illustrate data orientation.
- He demonstrates traversing layers of meaning, from raw bytes to a password change request.
Type Changes
- Interpretation levels in data orientation do not always necessitate type changes.
- Moving from JSON to an HTTP request retains the JSON type, unlike parsing characters to JSON.
