JSON may be a very bandwidth-inefficient format. A format that can be parsed from a stream could save RAM and bandwidth, especially on mobile which is most constrained.

However it compresses very well on the wire. One of the simplest "streamed-json" solutions is to have one json per line of input and parse that incrementally.
