I bet the article was one of the first to cover JSON and was only updated two years ago to the new stylesheet.
- magicalist 13y agoYeah, it says updated in 2012, but if you go to the articles section, for instance, they're all 5-7 years old. Though it's poor form even back then that they'd link to JSON.org (which has the JSON library which we all used before native browser support) and then not use it in the actual sample code.
- lstamour 13y agoGoogle was all about efficiency. In the early days, as with JSONP, the point was to eval the stuff. In some ways, it was a step back. Had we pushed for more E4X implementations we might have sent HTML over the wire instead, and would have avoided JS-based template languages, the overhead of converting JSON to at least one representation of HTML, etc.
