I'll accept that JSON is a simple data design that makes easy programming tasks easier. Would you give a concrete example of where JSON makes a difficult programming task more difficult please? And bonus points if you show how a more complex data design (e.g., XML) would not make the programming task more difficult. And many bonus points if you can show (through some argument or a pointer to some research) how Michael's statement is always true, or at least true most of the time. /Roger -----Original Message----- From: Ihe Onwuka [mailto:ihe.onwuka@g...] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 8:47 AM To: Costello, Roger L.
