Hey, I asked @douglascrockford and he confirmed my impression: This year (last month, actually) is JSON’s 25th birthday.

@timbray The birthday was in Chicago? (Testing my memory of places I've been) But that feels more than 25 years ago. @douglascrockford
What percentage of network traffic is JSON over HTTP? I mean, by volume probably relatively little but by request count it’s gotta be up there.
HTTP is the carcinisation of protocols and JSON is the carcinisation of data serialization formats (‘cause the meteor took out XML).
@timbray @douglascrockford happy birthday JSON! I’ve always pictured the JSON mascot in the style of JavaScript’s mascot—complete with a cheeky mustache—and the flag with "JSON" instead of "JS". Maybe it even has a different color than the yellow of JavaScript’s mascot or the green of Lisp’s mascot.
Something like this https://pixelfed.social/p/onipa/853372933507246116
@timbray @douglascrockford what a great run!
