If there's one thing JSON excels at, it's encoding executable instructions.

Example of their executable format:

  {
    "$vminit" : {
        "type" : "function",
        "identifier" : "$vminit",
        "nparam" : 0,
        "nlocal" : 0,
        "ntemp" : 0,
        "nup" : 0,
        "args" : false,
        "bytecode" : "14000000300000011400000230000003",
I am unconvinced of the merits of this approach.

Considering there's 60 MB ransomware using nw.js these days I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
