# Substantive changes

- Changed normative definition of the rdf:JSON datatype in §10.2 "The rdf:JSON Datatype" to describe a normative canonicalization and not relying on other datatypes. This is in response to [Issue 323](https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-syntax/issues/323). This also changed the normative language around JSON literals in the API document, hence the republication of that document, too.

TL;DR for the changes: while the previous version defined the value space of the RDF JSON literal referring to other XSD datatypes, this leads to confusion and semantic issues as noted in [Issue 323](https://github.com/w3c/json-ld-syntax/issues/323). As a result, the WG has changed the value space consisting of canonicalized JSON text, with the canonicalization rules defined by the specification itself. See [diff file](https://tinyurl.com/shuj268) for the changes.

(There has been a number of other, non-substantive changes based on implementation feedbacks, mostly improving the API document's algorithmic details)
