Hi, the package description of golang-github-bitly-go-simplejson-dev needs a review of the Enlish language. In its current form it is not correct, but more importantly it is hard to understand. The debian-l10n-english mailing list (in X-Debbugs-cc:) might be of help in improving the English language. The current description reads: «This is easily the library managing with JSON format. This can be done easily the acquisition of reading and the value of the JSON format. And this is add or remove key, and provides conversion to byte type of changed data.» Thanks, beatrice
At https://github.com/bitly/go-simplejson is just this description a Go package to interact with arbitrary JSON Groeten Geert Stappers
Since I dont have a precise idea of what the package does and the current description is really hard to understand for me, wouldn't be better to use a very simple, very brief description? (One liner description are already present in the Debian archive). Something like «This is a Go package to interact with arbitrary data in the JSON format using the Go language.» Just my suggestion. tahnks, beatrice
