OpenRefactory JSON protocol documentation is missing

Line 74 of INTERNALS says: "The OpenRefactory protocol is documented at FIXME: URL"

It would probably be best to add it to the repository, probably under engine/protocol (since that's where it's needed).

IIRC, there's a Word doc and a PDF. No harm in uploading both.

@roberthorn do you have this document? If not, I'm sure I do somewhere... have to search...

I have the document. I had started converting it to markdown to include in the repo but got distracted... Will finish and open a PR. - Robert

Oh yeah, I think you told me you were doing that and I completely forgot. Awesome; thanks!

Old thread, sorry for reviving it.
For the record found something here http://jeff.over.bz/papers/2013/wrt13.pdf that helped me to figure how to use the JSON protocol, while working on the VSCode refactoring extension.
