(It does, it just tries to act as if it didn’t.)

Tim Bray has a pretty good account on how that accident happened:

https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/201x/2014/03/05/RFC7159-JSON

Don’t waste any time with ECMA-404.

If you want to do useful work with JSON, RFC 7159 it is.

(Leafing through EEP-18, this strikes me as rather competent*) — why did it get stuck?)

*) Except maybe for the odd JSON extension proposal; just say no.
