It's just a standardised way to represent data structures in text. You can then save that text to a file for storage, or send the text over the wire for data transfer. As long as everyone involved knows they're saving/loading or talking JSON then everyone knows exactly how to read/write the data.
It is a very literal representation of (specifically JavaScript, but generally any) data-structures in text.
Right. Now the problem for me is these structures don’t come with maps. They’re also like relational databases. If you have to add the mixin calls, how do you got them all? Or know you’ve reconstructed the data model correctly? Where’s the blueprint?
Yes.
