I wish they had given examples of how they use it internally. From the lack of authentication I would guess that they don't call it directly from the client, but it could be made safe for certain readonly data. While their reasons for using http and its benefits are clear, I'm still trying to figure out why they used json though. Why not XML or a compact binary protocol?

"From the lack of authentication I would guess that they don't call it directly from the client" I don't see how lack of authentication has anything to do with requests coming directly from the client. Do you make people authenticate before they can read your website?
