All very good points, Scott. XML may be more "humanly" readable, but
a tool (a JSON browser) could make JSON more humanly readable too.

I think most developers find JSON vastly easier to read than XML. I
certainly do.

It would make sense to see JSON used for more data interchange
between any kind of application, not just between web servers and
web browsers.

It has already gained a lot of traction in the last couple of years,
and is continuing to displace XML as a data transport format pretty
much everywhere.
