That said, JSON is still an interesting study. Basically, "take the object literal syntax of javascript, get rid of functions, require double quotes, don't recognize comments." It is good to get folks to stop using 'eval' to pull some data into the browser, though it is a shame that couldn't have been preserved a bit more safely.

And, of course, json-lines and then the steady expanse of json-schema is looking to be hilarious. How long until we add in namespaces to the idea? :D
