I disagree: text is the minimum structure. It's often enough sufficient too, but using something higher level like JSON is also perfectly UNIX.

- rcxdude 3y agoI don't think so, this idea of JSON is a more modern interpretation and I'd say is counter to the UNIX philosophy, not an extension to it (it just so happens to squeeze into existing primitives a little better than e.g. a binary serialisation protocol).
