module: Revert remove experimental status from JSON modules #29754

guybedford · 2019-09-28T19:03:22Z

This reverts commit ec8776d from #27752, adding back the --experimental-json-modules flag to reflect the fact that JSON modules are being reverted for web (whatwg/html#4943) and should not be considered a stable feature.

Tracking issue at nodejs/modules#391 with further information.

the web's issue doesn't match our security model, I don't think we need to destabilise this

littledan · 2019-09-29T07:34:44Z

I think it's possible that we will eventually want to use exactly this syntax for importing JSON modules in Node.js long term, for the reasons @devsnek says. However, the sad state is, we just don't know what the Web will do at this point--it is also possible that the Web may include some changes that we end up wanting to do in Node as well. So the conservative option would be to mark this as experimental again.

devsnek · 2019-09-29T07:40:14Z

we already do this differently than the web (with the current system you have to explicitly type in .json in your import), so i don't think there was ever any way to converge this in the first place.

littledan · 2019-09-29T07:52:24Z

Yes, I agree it's possible that it will never converge. But we haven't really done the design work on the web side so I can't personally draw a conclusion with confidence.

It appears that this isn't valid C++ and will not compile.

EDIT: Well, this line is the start of a valid statement, but then the next few lines....you probably get what I mean. This:

I'm in favor of making it experimental personally on "when in doubt, keep it experimental" grounds, but I would happily defer to Modules WG if there's consensus. Any chance this goes on the Modules WG agenda or something to come to a resolution?

Trott · 2019-10-01T03:52:17Z

Added the "work in progress" label. Feel free to remove once it compiles.

If a Collaborator wants to block this, I suggest making your opposition explicit with a "Request changes" review or a clear comment. As I said above, I'm generally inclined toward "leave it in experimental a bit longer" for anything where there's doubt, but there are certainly many people far more informed on this specific issue than I am....

@nodejs/tsc Because this restores a flag that was removed/made unnecessay in Node.js 12.4.0, is this semver-major and should not land except as part of 13.0.0?

Oh, wait, never mind, all of esm is experimental status so semver rules don't apply.
