@fpiat & sixtyseconds,
Erm… You do realize this is optional right? Not an addition to the JSON spec… Ergo, JSON stays simple…
.
This is just a tool for programmers that need to build well tested, well formed, robust and safe applications.

I couldn’t agree more with fpiat – why cock up something that works so well due to its minimalistic flexibility?

PLEASE let JSON as simple as it is. If you need to specify type, comment, etc. and if you need to validate with a schema you can use XML.
There is no need to make a thing so simple and clear to something than already exist (and that nobody want to use).

@bluevoodoo1 by the year 3000 everything there is to invent will already be thought up?

@d4rkl1gh7 nice analogy. It’s also been likened to RelaxNG’s compact syntax (which was a latent influencer). I hope that everyone can compare it to something, then go guess the syntax.

@Aimos An initial primary motivation of orderly was to be able to document web apis in a clearer and more rigorous way (currently most people just post example output). From the likes of it, it sounds like you feel even that should be left to an example instance document (in which case the reader intuits the “schema” based on this single instance) or with jsonschema. If you feel this way, well, you might have sunk my battleship. I’ll have to think up a different holiday present for you. Do you like legos?

It should be noted, that this is not done in JavaScript. Its a C code thingy.

Why in the `homepage` is the rule-set after the name, but in the following line the rule-set is before the name?

what happens after the year 3000?!

The Jonas brothers arrive, and everyone is doing fine, but they live under water.

I just hope by the year 3000, we have something better than HTML + JS, heh.

So it’s basically the old ascii plist format?
