Small thing that is itching me. It's JSON and not Json , right? I've been using Json everywhere but I think I'm wrong?

[mbonnin]

To my defense, kotlinx.serialization is using Json too

[mbonnin]

What do you use?

[Sam]

The acronym is JSON, but most code styles I’ve seen will recommend converting acronyms to title case to avoid what I call the HTTPURLConnection problem

[Sam]

i.e. HttpUrlConnection > HTTPURLConnection

[Chris Fillmore]

Yeah I always use eg HttpUrlConnection, because it’s possible for acronyms to merge in unclear ways

[Sam]

The Kotlin code style is no exception:

When using an acronym as part of a declaration name, capitalize it if it consists of two letters (IOStream); capitalize only the first letter if it is longer (XmlFormatter, HttpInputStream).

Ah! Perfect!

[Chris Fillmore]

Like HTTPSFTP, what protocols does this refer to?

[Luke Armitage]

my favourite example is the classic XHR: XMLHttpRequest. best of both worlds. 😄
