JSON looks good when compared to XML.

That's literally how low you have to go.

"The only substantial shortcomings of JSON I see are shortcomings associated with any textual serialization format. Optimizing for human readability in a use case that's not 99.99% of the time not read by a human."

There are a few other shortcomings that are reasonably substantial/significant, but yeah, that's the gist of the problem.
