It's only called JSON if it comes from the Jéson region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling structured data.
@fribbledom I was raised with XML, so I would call it slightly structured data. 😉

@xeniac @fribbledom I totally understand, as even the 32-year-old me has studied and used XML before 2020.

But :
- tags have a name as JSON properties
- attributes could be rendered as "@someAttribute" keys, still not standard, yep...
- JSON schema can be a thing, and there was attempts, not as standard as XML schemas...
- yeah, no namespaced stuff by default
=> JSON may totally be used as an XML, less verbose, more customizable, but in a non-standard way

Always the freedom vs safety debate, and the minimal weight of a piece of information problem. Real world is hard !

@adupuy Thank you for this verbose reply. I agree with you. Everything has it's pros and cons.
IMHO are these missing namespaces an argument pro JSON.... er... Sparkly markup language.😂
I only miss an accepted schema standard.
