I wonder, how rigidly has the JSON format been baked into the protocol.
It feels like a shortsighted choice, just because it's prevalent in recent decades.
It took years to implement performant parsers for it and it has a lot of quirks, missing features and the tons of double quotes and mandatory commas significantly harm its human readability...
Not sure what would I recommend instead, but personally I would prefer using EDN instead, as a Clojure programmer
