HackerSpace Status API

Description

Koen Martens:

"The HackerSpace Status API proposes a unified syntax to publish information about a hackerspace for consumption by javascript widgets, mobile apps and other scripts or programs. The API is flexible, and allows for custom extensions.

The API is based on JSON, and defines the properties of the space status JSON object. In this specification, some fields are mandatory, whereas others are optional. A hackerspace implementing this API should at least provide the mandatory fields.

Receivers of the object must be able to parse all mandatory fields, and may interpret the optional fields. The receiver may also choose to ignore optional fields.

In addition to the fields defined below, a publisher is free to add any custom fields. It is recommended to start the field-names of custom fields with the string ‘ext_’, to make it clear the field is not part of the documented API. Consumers are not obligated to interpret any custom fields." (http://hackerspaces.nl/spaceapi/)
