A 1.5GB String - Hackdot

Agreed. Lack of comments and lack of proper schema enforcement makes JSON a junk pile of a data format.

Definitely not an improvement over XML. Hopefully the next popular standard data format will learn from the past and take the best of previous attempts.

JSON has schemas though. I use them all the time.

JSON itself (rfc 8259) has no schema, nor any mention of it. There are several additional RFCs that allow to add schema or other semantics or limitations, though. But JSON has no schemas.

I think you mean "the JSON standard doesn't define any schema".

Indeed. Nor does it mention any place, extension or addition where a scheme could be defined.

The problem is, that despite JSON's clear and numerous flaws, people still overwhelmingly prefer it to XML. XML is that unpleasant.
