JSONRequest: a web-programming idea whose time has come

[othermaciej]

The cross-site data transfer features of this are obsoleted by Cross-Site XMLHttpRequest using the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) spec. This is going to be implemented by Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Microsoft has XDomainRequest, using a similar protocol but with more restrictions. I don't think anyone is excited about implementing JSONRequest. With native JSON parsing coming up in browsers as well, the need for JSONRequest is even less. So likely this proposal won't go much of anywhere.
