How can you make JSON support multi-dimensional data returns? Biggest advantage of xml has been the ability of nesting elements many levels deep. Very important when dealing with large scale reporting where it is not one independent record per line. If anyone has an answer, would be of great help.

"Serverside"

Use JAXB.

"// TODO: write nasty code for parsing XML into DOM"

Or use one of the available xml2json scripts

I was never a huge fan of XML, but I had just gotten into some higher level parsing of it when I stumbled across some Douglas Crawford videos on Yahoo, and they changed my life! heh, I am litterally in love with JSON

Note that Douglas Crawford at json.org (he also works at Yahoo!) is trying to come up with "jsonRequest" to replace xmlhttprequest. Makes sense to me.
