I always thought that the name JSON5 pretends to be nothing more than a pun on Michael Jackson's original band, The Jackson 5. It sounds too similar!
If it didn't originate from that, what else?
- bawolff 2y agoThe project description describes it as json plus syntax from emcascript 5.1 (commonly called ES5) [the official name of javascript is emcascript]. I imagine that is where the name comes from. Although it doesn't really make sense since most of the stuff they add predates ES5.
- Zamicol 2y agoYes, that is where the name comes from.
- zeven7 2y agoI assumed it was a play on HTML5 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- dcre 2y agoHa. There is no way that’s what it means unless you read that somewhere.
- benkaiser 2y agoI agree with the others that ES5 is likely where it came from, but my mind also jumped to The Jackson 5.
