One great thing about LC's built-in support for arrays is that it's
built-in.
JSON has become used in so many other languages that we've forgotten
why it was invented: to serialize JavaScript objects as simply and
efficiently as possible using features already built into the
JavaScript interpreter.
LSON is that for us, as much a with-the-grain approach to data
handling in LiveCode as JSON is for JavaScript.
I just wish there was a human-readable, human-editable-in-a-text-editor
variant of LSON :-)
True, LSON is even closer to BSON ("Binary JSON") than JSON itself, with
all the machine-parsing efficiencies inherent in a binary format.
The world wanted a human-readable/writable form of JSON too, so YAML was
invented. :)
