Hi Richard Thanks for the explanation. I think it is a helpful term or distinction to have. I think it would be good to actually have that term with a formal definition published by LiveCode or the community with references to BSON so it will show up in web searches for either term to lead people to LiveCode. Maybe a start would be to introduce it in the forums.
Just a question though how is what you define as LSON different from JSON. Is it a different way of serializing LiveCode native arrays? Is there a way that LiveCode developers can have access to it directly through LCB or is it accessible in the realm of the engine only.
