Not sure why you'd edit JSON by hand in general. It doesn't tend to be used for configuration files, AIUI this move is following the trend of sending JSON over the web. So surely looking at parsing JSON vs. XML in a browser is where the real comparison is?
- deno 13y agoThis is the most peculiar thing about the JSON mania of all. I mean your web browser programming consists of 99% DOM manipulation and suddenly everyone forgets how to do that when it comes to making Web API calls. Maybe we need jQuery for XML?
- spin 13y agoMy programming consists of 99% Javascript, ie, manipulating Javascript objects. The data structures (ie objects) translate flawlessly into JSON (I just gotta remember the quotes around the keys, is all...). Switching my brain from Javascript to the-data-across-the-network (and back) requires practically no effort at all, because it's the same thing. EDIT: > Maybe we need jQuery for XML? Adding more layers of complexity to deal with complexity? I am further convinced that XML is bloated and bureaucratic. I am so happy that modern browsers let met get away from jQuery. Plain, vanilla JS is better for the soul.
