I'm actually somewhat surprised at how managers react to JSON. Every time I mention it, I can sense that they want to say something along the lines of "take a shower, hippie".
Well, after that much of an XML binge, it's going to take them awhile to go through detox. We just have to be patient and loving and make sure they get the help they need and are kept away from the bad influences/vendors.
Are you suggesting an intervention?
Interesting. One of my developers asked me yesterday if I wanted "JSON, XML, YAML or Python pickle" as Django Piston delivers all of them. I suppose I am not enough PM and too much developer. ;)
