There's no requirement for API's to only accept JSON. I mean we had SOAP (bleck)

I agree, but in the article they define an API as one accepting JSON. So I was just going with the conventions they were using.

If they built a strawman argument we don't have to accept it.

Agreed that is what I was trying to say in my comment haha. I didn't like the article.

But then it's not a huge technical impediment to EDI. It's just what some article said.

JSON, YAML, XML, and several other formats are basically various failed attempts to reimplement the utility and simplicity of s-expressions.
