Aptly named :-)

The reason JSON worked was that “it was just JavaScript Object Notation”, which was able to quell all the discussions.
We won’t have that luxury for anything new.

It is also unclear we need another text-based format; YAML has pretty much filled that space (like it or not).

For interchange (where it is more important to have a well-developed specification), with an extensible data model that is based on that of JSON, we have CBOR.

Grüße, Carsten
