NetJSON would allow standardization similar to NETCONF. Since NetJSON uses JSON format, it makes the management of configurations done at a higher level and larger scale to be automated easily. By using NetJSON objects to either produce or collect information, in different vendor’s different hardware, it allows the developers to work on their ideas faster and in a better way.</span></font></div><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap"><br></span></font></div><div><span id="gmail-docs-internal-guid-5fa4a272-f195-f673-8bf2-1ba86e26bd53"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:2pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><span style="vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><font color="#000000"><b>Implementation:</b>
