Some excellent points here from Rick and Alexander.

I think with most technologies/standards we tend to see

(a) an era of experimentation, where lots of people invent new things

(b) followed by an era of consolidation, where a small number of winners emerge

That is not what is happening here. 

Rather than letting the technology evolve to allow convergence on the "winner" best suited to a particular domain JSON is being propagandized and force-fed to all and sundry for all and everything.
