but where can you buy their complicator gloves?

You get a free pair with every turboencabulator purchase.

With panadermic semi-boloid slots? (Fully boloid slots require a macroflanging compensator, and who's got the money)

From the department-of-redundancy-department.... The output syntax is even more glorious than you'd think: http://www.datapower.com/schemas/json jsonx.xsd" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:json=" " rel="nofollow">http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/2009/jsonx"> John Smith 21 2nd Street New York NY 10021 212 555-1111 212 555-2222 false 62.4 > 640 ...and no, I'm not joking, and don't call me Shirl…

I'm surprised it doesn't use any of RDF's ordering attributes for arrays and objects.

And now the next trick I will perform is turning XML into JSON

https://gist.github.com/DavidJFelix/e5f16d4d1f8760bc3b39 buddy of mine made JSHOL on a whim which creates html from json

Having just written a pair of Nagios plugins in bash and batch that include json parsing routines, all I can say is "meh"... and my brain still hurts!

Is it a per-slot licence model?

yeah, the point isn't so much to make it readable, but to allow you to write JSON (as a python dev I love the interoperability with JSON) and then use the capabilities of the DataPower to do stuff with it. I expect many people were doing this by hand since JSON has replaced XML in a lot of peoples minds, and IBM has created a way to standardize it to make it easier to work with other teams.

That doesn't make this mess any saner, if the point was to apply XML tools to JSON, why not convert to an existing XML dialect with equivalent expressive power, e.g. XMLRPC's serialisation format (which provides a strict superset of JSON capabilities (if you include the nil extension))?

The obvious problem being that you might not have control over the source of the data. JSONx means you can apply xml tools to json sources, period.

well, IBM does sell storage solutions.

I always liked its tungsten cowhide casing [0], but the newer retroencabulator's removal of the expensive to dispose tetraethyliodohexamine greatly cuts down on the recurring maintenance costs.
