> Can anybody prove JSON existed in 2004, or previously?

The json.org domain was first registered on May 8, 2000:

http://www.whois.net/whois/json.org

The site went online on or before December 11, 2002:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://json.org/

But really, the JSON data format came into existence when object literals
and array literals were added to the JavaScript language, which was before
either of those dates. Many people must have used those literal formats to
store and transfer data before the JSON name came into use. After all,
Crockford says he "discovered" JSON rather than "invented" it:
