>I think a hard problem ahead would be how to convince other people to also adopt this framework, and how to make sure that people are using the same JSON keys to mean the same thing.
At first, I was thinking to use some kind of general schema, but those things never work. So I decided something much simpler: the render determines the schema. This is an important aspect that I am working on. If you choose some specific render, your JSON will have a specific shape. For example, if the render is for a landing page, the JSON could be something like "about", "products", "team", etc. (never <section>, <h1>, etc...). But it is too soon to tell I'm still thinking about it.
(but an interesting corollary is that the render could be also a program with the "config" part. It would be an alternative to website builders. Every render would be a different WB tailored for the website)
> I'm curious how you plan to prevent your JSON format from being (ab)used for presentation purposes, where people add extra content to make the page display a certain way. And if you have a plan, is this plan feasible using HTML as well?
I don't have a plan for that yet, and it will be difficult because we are accustomed to mixing data+markup. But I think the mindset is to stop thinking the website for just the browser. The website could be information first, presentation later.
