JSON is the de facto standard when it comes to (un)serialising and exchanging data in web and mobile programming.
I disagree. Take protobuf for example. You get schemas, data structures, and a parser in one package which is actually a lot smaller than JSON and compiles to nearly all the commonly used languages. Ever since I've started using it my life became so easier! If you don't want your data to be human readable (which is very common) you should not use JSON as a data interchange format.
- djur 10y agoJSON is still the de facto standard, regardless of whether it should be.

- edem 10y agoI don't think so. Can you back it up with facts?
- oldmanjay 10y agoSince you haven't demonstrated your premise beyond talking about what you personally prefer, that particular ball is still in your court. The world isn't obliged to accept your unsupported opinions as truth until you're convinced otherwise.
- edem 10y agoI don't need to demonstrate anything. It is not de facto standard since if it were everybody were using it which is not the case (Google is the best example). Look up what the term means and you will understand.
