It's JSON-like syntactically but not as flexible as JSON. You can neatly nest JSON within JSON, for instance. Nesting object-initialized anonymous types, on the other hand, sounds like it could get pretty messy, syntactically speaking.

For a IDictionary<string, string> parameter, JSON is overkill, but it's a nice substitute for XML, especially in Web browsers where XML support is spotty and inconsistent *cough* where's E4X, IE? *cough*.

I'm just waiting for some standards body to come along and ruin the party for us all by coming up with some JSON-Schema specification. ;)
