Whoops, forgot my footnote: [1] http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt
I don't know if that makes it official. I believe the official entity that vets mime types is IANA, but on their site I couldn't quickly get to an official list of recognized mime types. Still, if Doug Crockford says the type is application/json, and almost everyone uses that, that's the standard. That's how the internet works; standards bodies can wax rhapsodic about whatever they fancy, but if no one does it, it's not something you should be doing either, regardless of whether or not its the 'official standard', so, there you have it. Oh, and martykube: Be careful that your soul doesn't waft out the window that is giving you that fresh air. As a general rule, if PHP is a good fit for you, grails, rails, or django are usually an even better fit.
