I've mainly used JSON because it is a well defined and widely used 
standard. JSON also contains associative arrays (which currently are not 
used in madIS).

 From what little i've read about Tcl lists, i believe that JSON lists 
are better for the eye. Compare this:

["this is the first", "second", "and third sentence"]

to this:

"this is the first" second "and third sentence"

In the top example the commas help the eye to distinguish between the 
values. Nevertheless you could devise an alternative example with a lot 
of commas inside the strings, which would make JSON lists more difficult 
to read.

So in the end i think it is a matter of taste which of the two is more 
preferable, and the kind of data that one has to deal with.

(also known as associative array) can be stored as list too.
