Web developers now use frameworks to process data to obtain, for 
example, sortable tables with filters. There is only Javascript at 
browser-side and JSON is easier for frameworks developers. But there is 
no standardization in data format between frameworks which can even mix 
functions with data. Choose the wrong framework for your web application 
and you will have to rewrite it completely.

JSON is worse than XML 1.0 for graphs and a new notation with its 
associated query language would surely help to have small autonomous 
databases in browsers which could even be used offline.
