The use case of JSON is to be able to read structured data from dynamic languages, with a single line of code and no preparation otherwise. It fits this purpose and it works well if you know the layout of the input.
As a storage format I don't like it, either. No canonical representation (at all): Arbitrary whitespace, arbitrary order of members. Too much line noise: Quotes around each member name. No schema support.
