Before dismissing Canonical JSON, you may take it for spin at:
https://mobilepki.org/jws-jcs/home

This particular signature variant is 100% JWS compatible.

Although enveloped signatures may be "out of fashion", I find them quite practical since they don't interfere with the message structure.

An example: In the IETF TEEP work (building on JOSE), the designers were forced adding an unsigned outer JSON layer in order to get a reasonable system.

The idea is not replacing JOSE, only creating a viable alternative for folks who don't want to shroud their precious JSON data in Base64Url!

Thanks,
Anders
