I was surprised to notice that the file size of our models after migration to json are much bigger than the xml version.
After having a look, i can see that the version 2020-10 is using spaces to indent the models instead of tabs, which increases drastically the size of models.
Could you confirm ? Should a fix release solve this ?
Hi Mathieu,
I can confirm, that my A12 json models are bigger in file size than the xml version. The form models I checked are rather small test models which result in an increase of a few 10KB each when migrating from xml to json. What is the increase of your models?
If this is an issue for your project, A12 should definitely have a look at it.
By the way, my xml models feature spaces and no tabs if I checked correctly.
after digging a bit more : the size of data model are not bigger after migration to json, but the UI models are indeed bigger.
About indentation, within our project we are replacing the spaces by tabs, which reduce a lot the size of models. I’m wondering if the A12 tools (including migration tool) should use more tabs instead of spaces ?
For example, if i create a new model from UI or Data modeler, the created file will be indented by spaces
