QUORACT

A small JSON format for describing actions.

Each request has five top-level fields: object, intent, authority, lifetime, and result.

{
  "object": {
    "type": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Note",
    "data": {
      "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#content": "Hello"
    }
  },
  "intent": {"action": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Create"},
  "authority": {},
  "lifetime": {},
  "result": {"expects": "https://www.w3.org/ns/activitystreams#Note"}
}

Try it

Read SPEC.md and capabilities.json. Write a handler in any language:

handler --envelope /path/to/request.json

Run the public tests:

python3 conformance.py --handler /absolute/path/to/handler

The kit includes 4 valid and 8 invalid test cases. There is no reference handler here.

Scope

This is the experimental v0.9 public profile. The authority and lifetime fields are opaque and not enforced by this kit. Passing these tests does not establish real authorization, expiry enforcement, replay protection, production security, or compatibility with other implementations.
