Signed Message

{

    "signed": {
        (Ripple message) 
    },
    "signatures": [
        {
            "hash": ("sha1" | "md5"),
            "sign": ("rsa" | "dsa" | "elgamal"),
            "signature": (base64)
        }
    ]

}

Hash all characters between the signed-message curly braces. Sign the hash.

Public Key Data Structures

    "dsa-key": {

        ("q": (base64),)
        "g: (base64),
        "y: (base64),
        "j: (base64),
        ("seed": (base64),)
        ("p-gen-counter": (base64),)

Error

{

    "type": "error",
    "code": (string),
    ("field": (JSON address),)
    ("message": (string))

}

JSON Addressing

JSON addressing works like unix filesystem paths. Take the following piece of JSON:

{

    "a": 1,
    "b": 2,
    "c": {"d": 4,"e": 5,"f":"d"},
    "g": [6, 7, 8],

}

Maps (dictionaries) are easy to address -- use the key name. Array sequences (lists) are trickier. The array element at position n (first position is 0) is addressed by "[n]". A wildcard "[*]" indicates any array position.

So

Paths may be relative to the path of an element as well, meaning that the value "d" at /"c"/"f" may be interpreted as pointing to /"c"/"d" with is 5. (Only if you're expecting a JSON path at /"c"/"f" though, otherwise it's just the string "d" of course.)

Note that the quotations around path elements need to be escaped in JSON strings.
