Hey, Coda —
With the full set of values supported, working with JSON data would be
perfectly feasible. Putting it directly in formulas is a can of worms,
though. I'm already treading a fine line between conforming to WikiText
syntax *and* filter syntax *and* standard spreadsheet syntax while
maintaining a consistent code style... Merging JSON into that, with its
syntactic nuances, would threaten to over-constrain things.
On the upside, you could just do
json({{MyJsonTiddler}})
On a related note, I want to support excel style array literals, but the
distinction with transclusions will be nuanced when they nest. Fortunately
Excel and Sheets both include a 2D array syntax already...
{1, 2, 3; 4, 5, 6; 7, 8, "fish"}
The curly braces are, of course, anathema to the JavaScript developer. :)
