==Conventional approach: Using a single slot (main) and multiple pages==
<div style="column-count: 2;">
<div style="break-inside: avoid;">You can have <code>content-model = wikitext</code> for pages, templates, forms, etc.
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
Some unstructured text
{{MyTemplate
|param1=value1
}}
{{#aparserfunction:}}
</syntaxhighlight>
</div>
<div style="break-inside: avoid;">or <code>content-model = json</code> without any specific rendering
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
{
    "param1": "value1"
}
</syntaxhighlight>
</div>
</div>

Problems:

*you can have rendered page content or structured page content
*content is distributed over multiple pages

==Conventional approach: Using a single slot (main) and a single page==

<div style="break-inside: avoid;">Problems
*Extensions like SMW only cover reading mappend template params as json
*Extensions like PageForms require a individual form to edit the data
*=> In general you need a template-parser (e. g. wikitext to json) in your client software at least to edit/write data in general
*=> Doing so requires guessing of data types and correct interpretation of arrays

==Luckily we have Multi-Content-Revisions (MCR)==
Lets add a <code>jsondata</code> slot
<div style="column-count: 3;">
<div style="break-inside: avoid;">
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Slot!!Content Model
|-
|main||wikitext
|-
|jsondata
|json
|}
</div>
<div style="break-inside: avoid;"> <code>main</code> 
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
Some unstructured text

{{#aparserfunction:}}
</syntaxhighlight>
</div>
<div style="break-inside: avoid;"> <code>jsondata</code> 
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
{
    "@type": "MyDataTemplate",
    "text": "some text",
    "number": 123,
    "array": [1,"two",3.0]
}
</syntaxhighlight>
</div>
</div>

==Would be nice to validate the json data==
Lets add a <code>jsonschema</code> slot for Category pages
<div style="column-count: 3;">
<div style="break-inside: avoid;">
{| class="wikitable"
|+
!Slot!!Content Model
|-
|main||wikitext
|-
|'''jsondata'''||json
|-
|'''jsonschema'''||json
|}
</div>
<div style="break-inside: avoid;"> Category:MyCategory <code>jsonschema</code> 
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">
{
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
        "text": { "type": "string" },
        "number": { "type": "number" },
        "array": { "type": "array" }
    }
}
</syntaxhighlight>
</div>
<div style="break-inside: avoid;"> Item:MyInstance <code>jsondata</code> 
<syntaxhighlight lang="json">

==If we have a jsonschema, we get the editor & validator for free==

==Classes, Instances, Inheritance? ==
Lets add a <code>jsonschema</code> slot for Category pages

*<nowiki>*Wiki-side feature are implemented in Lua => To be rewritten in PHP</nowiki>
*Why are parser calls needed at all? Currently there seems no options to provide a hook from the core that allows injecting slot-specific content
