> The dominance of JSON just shows that JS is dominant.

I don't know that's the case... I've used JSON in lots of non-JS languages because it just works, and errors rarely are caused by mismatches in how JSON behaves in language X and language Y. A lot of that is that it is simple, and rigid.



Simple, rigid and limited and everyone’s settled on it so you can’t do anything now.
