The log format is defined by the set of "data" classes at:

<http://waterken.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/ref_send/log/package-summary.html>

The org.waterken.syntax.json package defines a serialization from Java
record classes to JSON. So the Causeway JSON trace file format is the
serialization of any object tree you can compose from the classes
linked to above.

Sounds good.

Fixed now. Thanks.

There's some documentation at:

<http://waterken.sourceforge.net/javadoc/org/ref_send/package-summary.html#package_description>

The serialization code is OK documentation in itself:

<http://waterken.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/waterken/server/trunk/waterken/remote/src/org/waterken/syntax/json/JSONSerializer.java?view=markup>
