I, literally. die a little inside each and every time I see this kind of
JSON. Once you start producing JSON like this, you may as well just stick
with XML. Parsing it will be easier.

JSON and XML have different strengths and weaknesses, if you only allow the
common ground of functionality to be used you end up with a mediocre at
best implementation of both.
