> {"p2":{"x":141,"y":85},"mode":"line","p1":{"x":34,"y":44}} Embracing ordered rather than named parameters can make this so much cleaner (that’s why most folks would prefer add(1, 2) to {"function":"add", "augend": 1, "addend": 2}). It’s strange that p2 comes before p1. ["line",{"x":34,"y":44},{"x":141,"y":85}] The same argument applies to points — way name their components when they will always be the same? ["line",[34,44],[141,85]] If you’re willing to abandon JSON, you can make it even cleaner. There’s no real need for quotes around the mode: [line,[34,44],[141,85]] And it’d be nice to have some whitespace: [line, [34, 44], [141, 85]] And come to think of it, those commas don’t really add anything: [line [34 44] [141 85]] Hmmm, if you switched from brackets to parentheses I bet you have a library which could handle this for you: (line (34 44) (141 85))
