>>108718021
yeah but the page sizes would go up cause json is bloated

>>108718021
how would

<div class="whatever">cannot into <b>bold</b> text, saar</div>

work in a json?

>>108718043
This and also, what if an element has multiple child elements of the same tag?
Any JSON schema where the order of keys must be preserved is fucked by design.

I already program like this with HTML in s-expressions in Scheme.

>>108718021
css should look like that too desu

I think it would be horrible...
HTML its already horrible...
All the technology is horrible

People who never learned HTML want to teach us how to do markup language. Seriously, just stop with this json nonsense. HTML/XML is great for markup, not so great for config/data objects. JSON is the opposite.

>>108718021
html should be replaced by javascript

>>108718021
no, absolutely not. html describes structured documents specifically, not random data. json is meant to describe data objects. trying to describe a structured document in json is clumsy, obtuse, and ugly. it would make more sense to write an opera in mandarin.

json is terrible

no comments and completely anal about superfluous commas

it would look the same
modern websites are already like 5 lines of HTML that load 78,000 lines of JS

>>108718021
what difference does the syntactical or typesafety make to the underline features the language has? its a simple markup language lmao

>>108718021
Just wait till you miss a closing brace and try to figure out which one you missed.

>>108718095
This looks totally fucking retarded and I say that as someone familiar with HTML and Jason Mewes.

Web sucks. We need to go back to plain text.

>>108718021
Imagine indentation hell in something more complex than simple html hello world. Some div block in the middle of the page would have indentation of 3 km length.

>>108721404
You don't have to throw an error while parsing it. HTML pages also work even if you forget the closing tag.

>>108721542
Intendation is optional in JSON and HTML.

>>108718021
json-sexuals should be beheaded publicly, they're even worse that sexmluals. If you want to improve sgml-like syntax you should go for s-expression, otherwise it's fine.

>HTML pages also work even if you forget the closing tag.
retard

<div><span class="red background">hi text</span>text that doesn't have red background</div>

Go ahead and remove the closing tags while preserving the same behavior

>>108718021
>json
Bloat. Use CBOR.
Comparison here:
https://hildjj.github.io/cbor2/playground/

>>108718021
Wouldn't the code look exactly the same? json isn't even particularly intuitive lets just go back to binary formats

>>108718021
The serialization format of the data/conent doesn't matter tho, it doesn't make much of a difference if it's json, xml or some other funny format

>>108718021
imagine if it was this instead:

(doc (doctype "html")
  (html (head (title "Page title"))
          (body (h1 "This is a Heading)
                   (p "This is a paragraph))))

>>108718038
Right. HTML is document markup designed in an era when people didn't realize how retarded the the web would become as browsers became the universal client platform.

HTML does not need to be fixed. CSS on the other hand...

The only correct way to repr html and xml in json is basically as an array of tokens.

>>108718021
looks like shit, why do you want writing html to feel like writing yaml. json is supposed to be an auatomatically emited form of data, not something that you write yourself by hand. what the fuck are you doing? i write my apis to egress json, not the other way around

>>108718095
You've reinvented React

>>108722848
Not op. I rather write JSONs than YAML any day. YAML is shit, even TOML is miles better.

too many fucking quotes and colons

Oh, I was just joking ._.

>>108721115
let me introduce you to
https://json5.org/

>>108725950
Niggerlicious. Dude, it still using commas. JSON is a single-entry single-value map, 1 to 1 map, there's no need for commas or a separator token other than whitespace.

>>108718021
So....JSON?

Why retards can't understand something so simple as >>108726018 this.

>>108718021
why are backend fags like this? Just stay in your lane and never touch the frontend please

web should be entirely just an extended version of markdown.

>>108721542
If you have that much indentation on a modern webpage, then you're doing it wrong.

>>108718021
Imagine how many exploits could have been avoided if every content and value string came with a length.

let's just create a low level graphics api, like webgl but better. implement it with webgl first, whatever. when it reaches critical mass, implementations will get optimized until there is no overhead left, which is possible because the api is low level and not terrible

>>108718038
This json looks just about as verbose as any HTML I've seen. Maybe less so given that there aren't any closing tags, just closing curly brackets.

>>108725563
>schemas required
Retard.
CBOR does not require schemas, just like JSON.
If you want to use schemas, then go for ProtoBuf.

>>108718021
isn't that what static generators like hugo and jekyll do anyway?

You retarded zoomers are the reason why tech is going into shit. See thing is that boomers were smart about it make it simple and make it work so anybody can use it.

This piece of shit garbage is pure vomit just like anything zoomers produce just like Rust troon lang that is disgusting in syntax it's disgusting to use and second that it's tried to be used in anything it fails just like fucking cloudflare died because of it. Yuck... fuckers don't touch computers go change genders or whatever but don't touch soft never ever... even hardware thanks.

the fact that you didn't include <html> or <body> is proof enough that it doesn't require closing tags, you don't need to pretend to be retarded
