They did: "XEP-0295: JSON Encodings for XMPP" https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0295.html :-)

  How about that! Then they need to publicize it. Make a website, say, jmpp.org (pronounced "jump") and a reference implementation.

    You might want to read it. :-) The problem has mostly been that nobody's come up with a better JSON representation than one in a April 1st XEP (and they have been proposed - as ralphm says, they're mostly XML-with-curly-brackets, which makes them have the disadvantages of both). On the other hand, both stanza.io and XMPP-FTW both use the same fixed-format (ie, inextensible) JSON format for XMPP just fine. They can do this because they drop unknown namespaces and don't intend to provide round-trip conversions, etc. So if you're after a JSON "interface" to XMPP, there is one, and it's pretty good. Worth a look.

      Oh yeah (about it being a joke). Thanks for the other pointers.
