Yeah json is primitive, because it is (was, but still is) just JavaScript errr ECMAScript 3.

All your points are valid, but it’s a lot better than xml’s api, confusing whitespacing/attr/element, and huge complexity.

Simple is better, and json is def. lacking in some points, but in general it’s easier to work with than xml (or at least getting started with)
