Allow developers to specify workflows without the need for installing additional tooling such as a modeler.
- It should be easy to define a simple workflow with a text editor only
- The format must map down directly to BPMN
- The format must be based on an existing text based format like (XML, JSON, YAML, TOML, ...)
- The format should not have the ambition to replace BPMN or reach BPMN's level of expressiveness
- The format must not introduce any new concepts which are not present in BPMN
- The format should not be workflow-engine agnostic. It should target zeebe.io directly and natively expose it's features. It should not have a concept of "Extension Elements".
