Effort overview (roadmap)

Dependencies and their reference implementations:

• 1. and 3. need a server
  • HTTPDD Server
• 2. needs an FSM
  • HTTPDD (HTTP decision diagram)
  • HTTPDD Machine
• 1.i. and 1.ii. need parsers
  • Core PEGjs
• 2.i., 3.i. and 3.ii. need helpers/generators
  • API PEGjs
• 1., 2. and 3. need language agnostic tests
  • parse->AST->stringify (API PEGjs)
  • Decision
    • Content Negotiation
