<p>How would you represent <b><i>mixed content</i></b> in JSON?</p>

• winstonewert 2y ago
  `{ type: "p", children: [{type: "text", text: "How would you represent "}, {type: "b", children: [{type: "i", children: [{type: "text", text: "mixed content"}]], {type: "text", text: " in JSON?"]}` or: `{paragraphs: [{spans: [{ text: "How you represent "}, {bold: true, italic: true, text: "mixed content"},{text: " in JSON?"}]}`

    But that's terrible! How is that better? And can you guarantee correct ordering?

      ["p", "How would you represent ", ["b", ["i", "mixed content"]], " in JSON?"]

    Oh sure, it can be represented. But now JSON is the one being noisy, ugly and verbose.

      My specific claim was that you could represent it in JSON, so you can't claim, as the post I responded to did, that JSON "cannot be used." I'll fully grant, I don't want to write a document by hand in either of the JSON formats I suggested. Although, given the choice, I'd rather receive it in that format to be parsed than in any XML format.
