I have this "multi-JSON" need quite often. In particular, I exchange JSON-encoded messages over byte stream connections. There are many ways of doing it. Having rejected different options (<URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_streaming>), I settled with terminating each JSON value with an ASCII NUL character, which is illegal in JSON proper. > I also recommend the following article to those not aware of how badly > designed JSON is: http://seriot.ch/parsing_json.php JSON is not ideal, but compared with XML, it's a godsend. What would be ideal? I think S-expressions would come close, but people can mess up even them: <URL: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2693.txt>.
