Comments on: 10 Things To Know About JSON (JSON Javascript Examples) http://codytaylor.org/2009/06/10-things-to-know-about-json-json-javascript-examples.html From Cody Taylor.

When there's much nesting, I find XML easier to read than JSON (get ready to count those braces and brackets!). And while there are some excellent editors for XML, there are fewer out there for JSON. The 2nd thing (speed) is due more to the minimalist syntax than the Javascript compatibility, I believe. But the gain in network speed vs. XML isn't as impressive when gzip-encoding the data, which everyone should be doing. The 4th thing (ease of human reading/writing) is more a matter of preference.

Hmm JSON injection eh? Cross domain capabilities? Could be interesting. Thanks for the comment. Hmm JSON injection eh? Cross domain capabilities? Could be interesting.

That is how JSON injection occurs and most JSON libraries and implementations deter that behavior.
