Dave != XML; Dave == RSS

But yeah, json is becoming the syndication format.... Are there standards for json objects yet?

There's JSON Schema which is serviceable, but unfortunately lacking a bit in the tooling department: http://json-schema.org/

I don't know if there should be standards for json objects. JSON always reminded me of duck-typed objects whereas XML reminded me of strongly-typed (via the DTD) objects.

RSS and XMLRPC.

And unless I'm mistaken, he wrote the programming environment himself.

Dave Winer did not invent RSS.
