I don't understand this perspective. JSON isn't used only for RPC, even if that's what most frontend software is doing. For better or worse, it became a data serialization and interchange format - the need for such support tools arises naturally once you're generating or processing anything but most trivial data, and you value your time/sanity.
Totally fair. I guess I was mostly considering the more typical client-server consumption, RPC-type uses and wasn’t really thinking just how much we use it for basic data interchange and serialization. Thanks.
