Yes - I really like JSON as well. It's much more compact than XML and lightning fast. It's only real problem (which is kind of a big one) is that it's limited to string literals. There's no data typing at all. Some people find it's lack of extensibility a burden (I don't). It only supports JavaScript style objects (structs) and arrays (but not sparse arrays). There's no specific "recordset" style and you can't really add one (although you can assume a convention of either an object of arrays or an array of objects). Still - it's a VERY clever idea that leverages a pre-existing nomenclature and should work for a huge number of applications.
