Fix:
- Indexing of array/repeatable fields: Catmandu starts with 0, Metafacture starts with 1 due to JsonDecoder. (Not sure if this is broader Metafacture/Catmandu level).
-
set_
: MF alias for add_functions, Catmandu does not create an intermediate structure, MF does. - Additional functions and binds:
- Metafacture:
-
add_hash
andadd_array
- TODO
-
- Catmandu
- some binds
-
iterate
bind - TODO
- Metafacture:
-
do list(path:"...", "var":"...)
in MF Fix the var needs to be in " in catmandu not - substring-function does not define start and end index but start and number of signs.
- Array-Wildcards: Catmandu:
$last
/$first
write, MF they do not - MF does not support root
.
, Catmandu does -
move_field
: MF cannot move field with same name from string to object -
vacuum
: catmandu can catch" "
, MF does not -
copy_field
array of string with single value: MF copies them as simple field, Catmand keeps the array -
remove_field
: MF cannot delete field from array of objects
Metafacture/Catmandu-Level:
- embedded fix in catmandu commands can be separated by
;
- YAML encoding when transforming to yaml from marc catmandu shows the hidden _id by default too, metafacture does not
- Output Arrays: MF does not know what an array is, fix need to add Array marker for JSON Arrays, Catmandu outputs Arrays as arrays, Catmandu does not know repeatable fields in JSON?
- Marc handling in MF and Catmandu are completly different. MF: Leader-Element, XXX+Indicies = Toplevel elements, Subfilds=> Subfields, difficulties are created by repeated subfields, Catmandu: _id, array-in-array, unclear structure) (MF has an big advantage here. MF: uses generic fix, Catmandu: uses its special Marc-Fix
