(2005-01-27) Nottingham Json

Mark Nottingham points at JSON, JavaScript object notation, which happens to roughly match Python's syntax, as an alternative to XML. ... they suddenly get a data interchange format that's pretty darn useful for what's becoming a very common task - turning those browsers into an application platform. It's interesting as a connection to Google's interface work (GMail, Google Suggest), and thus possible inspiration for building your own WebApp-s.
