No, EFI REST JSON Structure DXE Driver (UEF spec section 29.7.3) is a centralized manager to manage "EFI Redfish JSON resource to C structure Converter libraries/drivers" for converting Redfish resource in the specific schema from JSON format to the C structure or vice versa. EFI REST JSON Structure DXE Driver itself doesn't use JSON library, however "EFI Redfish JSON resource to C structure Converter libraries/drivers" do use open source jansson library to parse JSON payload. Furthermore, "EFI Redfish JSON resource to C structure Converter libraries/drivers" are generated by tool based on the published Redfish schemas. https://github.com/DMTF/Redfish-Schema-C-Struct-Generator From: devel@edk2.groups.io [mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io] On Behalf Of Bret Barkelew via groups.io Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 11:41 AM To: Chang, Abner (HPS SW/FW Technologist) ; devel@edk2.groups.io; rfc@edk2.groups.io Cc: Wang, Nickle (HPS SW) ; Chen, Aaron ; siyuan.fu@intel.com; Wang, Fan ; Wu, Jiaxin ; Ni, Ray ; Kinney, Michael D Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [RFC] Request for the new package "RedfishPkg" under edk2 repo JSON Structure would probably be worth discussing. I know that there are other places I've seen JSON used and it may end up that we want common business logic (similar to using Oniguruma for regex). Do you parse/format JSON in that one? - Bret From: Chang, Abner (HPS SW/FW Technologist) Sent: Monday, September 14, 2020 8:33 PM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; Bret Barkelew; rfc@edk2.groups.io Cc: Wang, Nickle (HPS SW); Chen, Aaron; siyuan.fu@intel.com; Wang, Fan; Wu, Jiaxin; Ni, Ray; Kinney, Michael D Subject: [EXTERNAL] RE: [edk2-devel] [RFC] Request for the new package "RedfishPkg" under edk2 repo Not many drivers fall in edk2 repo so far, those are drivers with the corresponding definitions in UEFI spec. - EFI REST EX UEFI Driver for Redfish service - EFI Redfish Discover UEFI Driver - EFI REST JSON Structure DXE Driver All others have to go through code first policy, will be in edk2-staging repo. -Abner From: devel@edk2.groups.io [mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io] On Behalf Of Bret Barkelew via groups.io Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 11:19 AM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; Chang, Abner (HPS SW/FW Technologist) >; rfc@edk2.groups.io Cc: Wang, Nickle (HPS SW) >; Chen, Aaron >; siyuan.fu@intel.com; Wang, Fan >; Wu, Jiaxin >; Ni, Ray >; Kinney, Michael D > Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [RFC] Request for the new package "RedfishPkg" under edk2 repo I think code review works.

From: devel@edk2.groups.io [mailto:devel@edk2.groups.io] On Behalf Of Abner Chang Sent: Tuesday, September 8, 2020 11:48 AM To: rfc@edk2.groups.io Cc: Wang, Nickle (HPS SW) >; Chen, Aaron >; siyuan.fu@intel.com; Wang, Fan >; Wu, Jiaxin >; devel@edk2.groups.io Subject: [edk2-devel] Request for the new package "RedfishPkg" under edk2 repo Hi everyone, Given that we are going to contribute code of UEFI Redfish edk2 solution, a new package "RedfishPkg" under edk2 repo is necessary for accommodating the UEFI Redfish driver stacks, that includes - EFI Redfish Host Interface DXE Driver - EFI Refish Credential DXE Driver - EFI REST EX UEFI Driver for Redfish service - EFI Redfish Discover UEFI Driver - EFI Redfish Discover Protocol - EFI Redfish Config UEFI Driver - EFI BIOS Config To Redfish Dxe Driver - EFI REST JSON Structure DXE Driver - EFI Source Coding DXE Driver - EFI BIOS Resource Provision Generation Protocol - EFI BIOS Resource Provision Transport Layer Protocol The architecture have been discussing in TianoCore Design meeting and the corresponding BZ were created as well. The code we will start to contribute includes - Contribute to edk2 repo for those drivers already have the corresponding definitions in UEFI spec. - Contribute code to edk2-staging/UEFI _Redfish for those drivers do not have the corresponding definitions in UEFI spec. This is for the evaluation and require ECR to USWG if community agree with having this driver for Redfish edk2 solution. Please refer to below link for the details, https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/blob/UEFI_Redfish/Readme.md Thanks Abner
