That might be true, and happens in lots of areas, but Swagger is nothing like Corba/SOAP specs and JSON is nothing like SOAP.

JSON gives most of the stuff SOAP was actually used for (except for bureaucratic spec-driven edge cases), for 20% of the complexity -- so the JSON generation did something right.

(I'm old enough to have been through CORBA and SOAP).

Rediscovered S-expressions and reimplemented them in a mix of square and curly braces ;).

Well, most people just don't like S-expressions, and never will. Get over it ;)
