JSON has a strong selling-point that it is compatible with JS in syntax.
It is very hard to make major extension to JSON and still be compatible with JS syntax. Minor changes are possible, like in JSON5.
Once it breaks JS compatibility, I don't think people will think it is JSON next any more.
- geraldbauer 9y agoGood point. If it's not JSON next but a complete new format than you will have to compete with JSON, all JSON next formats and all other alternative formats. Good luck.
