JSON is data structures represented as JavaScript/ECMAScript source
code, so that they can be loaded easily into web browsers -- it's
certainly a strong competitor to XML in the AJAX space, but I'm not
sure we'll see it for general data interchange. If anyone wants to
make some good arguments one way or another, I'd be happy to see them
as a paper proposal for XML 2006.
If people do want to use programming-language syntax to exchange
generic data, I'm putting in a vote for LISP S-expressions before it's
too late. Is anyone with me?
All the best,
David
