I'm aware of JSON-LD, but it is hardly relevant here. Not to start a flame, but I see it as another RDF syntax, no more.
RDF processing can happen on the server as well as on the browser. SPARQL processor is still a SPARQL processor, no matter where you place it. And I will at all costs avoid coding an algorithm in JS for something that can be achieved declaratively, e.g. with SPARQL or XSLT.
