JSON encodes a single string. That is a problem for sending larger files over the net, say, an NMR structure of a larger molecule with 100 models in the file. CSV is a good format for tabular data, and you can send rows incrementally, but a typical application requires some small amount of metadata as well. For example, the full sequence -- that does not fit into a single-table format like CSV. And so on. -- Dimitri Maziuk Programmer/sysadmin BioMagResBank, UW-Madison -- http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu
