That ECMA (via ECMA-404) and IETF (via RFC 8259, and before that RFC 7159) have subtly incompatible standards with the same title is annoying; perhaps we need to talk about “IETF JSON” (or “application/json”, as it is expressly the basis of the MIME type) vs “ECMA JSON”.


Here is our opportunity to publish an ANSI or ISO spec, and take the market by storm. :)

Personally, I will adopt the first version of JSON that lets me insert a flipping comment!
