This is what JSON should have been extended to.
But Douglas Crockford just don't want to innovate anything, just like Gruber didn't want to make a proper specification of the Markdown format.
Sometimes people are keeping innovation back. Fortunately this did not happend with html.
The main thing missing from the text format is a magic and version number. At least the binary format has it.
- kwertyoowiyop 5y agoThe dominance of JSON shows that Crockford made some good decisions, even though we may not agree with them on any given day.
- seanclayton 5y agoThe dominance of JSON just shows that JS is dominant.
- usrusr 5y agoEven JS stopped parsing JSON as a subset JS a long time ago. JSON lineage has been irrelevant in terms of popularity transmission ever since people stopped doing var jsonobj = eval(jsonstring);
- indymike 5y ago> The dominance of JSON just shows that JS is dominant. I don't know that's the case... I've used JSON in lots of non-JS languages because it just works, and errors rarely are caused by mismatches in how JSON behaves in language X and language Y. A lot of that is that it is simple, and rigid.
