There are some good arguments against this format but your points were invalid. Key data in many different types of data is much larger than the actual values. E.g ("average_cpu_cylces_per_min": 60)

Gzip or some other compression scheme takes care of that pretty well. It's not rare to do JSON over gzipped HTTP requests.

You gzip csv and csj as well so this is orthogonal to the point.

Is it? I think his point is that key repition may not be a relevant factor when a gzip can be presumed.
