Actually, it does.. there are somethings that you can express in XML
or others that you can't express in JSON...  Like there is no binary
data type in JSON...  You only have unicode strings...  I hope the
library that outputs JSON ensures that all strings are valid UTF-8..

If not, I can imagine that someone will have a security issue due
to this...
