Dear Enrique, I don't know anything about UBF. Whether you should consider JSON, depends on the type of data you need to exchange. JSON is a textual format, like XML but much simpler. It does not support binary data (it only has strings, numbers, boolean values, "arrays" [=lists] and "objects" [=structures or records]).
JSON is a very widerspread format and there are bindings for many programming language (certainly also for Erlang). My JSON parser is a rather naïve implementation, though. (It uses logic programming and search.) So it might be too slow for large amounts of data. It also does not deliver any meaningfull error messages for malformed JSON. On the positive side, the parser returns ordinary Oz records. So the parsed data can easily be processed, using the full power of Oz.
