What are the core problems that stem from json usage? I’m all for challenging status quo but from my little experience, I wasn’t aware json was THAT problematic that we need to consider an alternative as drastically different as this project is.

Would love to here the problems that spurred this project.

Let me ask you these...

- Won't it be good if you exchange less amount of data?

- Won't it be good if serializer/deserializer validates the data before processing/loading/serializing, and you don't have to write special validation code?

- Won't it be good if you only pass, data and not the definitions over the wire? For example just send "Spiderman, 25" instead of { "name": "Spiderman", "age", 25 }

- Won't it be good if you do not mix, data and metadata (such as recordCount, nextPage, etc...)?

- Won't it be good if the object collection can be streamed through partial serialization?

Internet Object improves on all these front!

I have mentioned the issues with JSON in the story. Did you get a chance to read it? https://internetobject.org/the-story/
