[OpenWrt-Devel] GSOC 2017 - Implement NetJSON output in ubus (OpenWRT/LEDE)

[Arun Kumar]

Hi Developers,

I am Arunkumar Ravichandran currently admitted for masters program at
University of California, San Diego. My proposal
<https://wiki.freifunk.net/Ideas#Implement_NetJSON_output_in_ubus_.28OpenWRT.2FLEDE.29>*Implement
NetJSON output in ubus (OpenWRT/LEDE)* has been accepted to the GSOC 2017
and I would like to tell more about my proposed project.

The main aim of this project is to implement parts of the NetJSON
specification in the OpenWRT/LEDE ecosystem.

*Why NetJSON ??* NetJSON would allow standardization similar to NETCONF.
Since NetJSON uses JSON format, it makes the management of configurations
done at a higher level and larger scale to be automated easily. By using
NetJSON objects to either produce or collect information, in different
vendor’s different hardware, it allows the developers to work on their
ideas faster and in a better way.

*Implementation:* The support for NETJSON
<https://github.com/netjson/netjson>is brought in at the interconnect
system- ubus <https://lede-project.org/docs/guide-developer/ubus>. To add
support for a new ubus API which allows retrieving these two NetJSON object
types: DeviceConfiguration and DeviceMonitoring. DeviceConfiguration
NetJSON objects are filled in using the plugins available in System
Configuration Abstraction Layer(SCAL
<https://github.com/prplfoundation/scal>). Full project proposal can be
read at: Google docs
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b6zersOA_GjUqbOjuaXvFd4E40l1MqUXjIyVagLLd08/edit?usp=sharing>


I would welcome further suggestions from the LEDE/ OpenWRT community as
that would help in implementing this feature sooner and in a better way,
and also more resilient to multiple data models which are being used to
represent network configurations.
Thanks,
Arun
