Why JSON?

Say, please, what was the main reason to use JSON object serializing in Atlas instead of SOAP? Easy deserializing? Or light weight? Or something else?

And will Atlas support SOAP in the future?

Thanks.

Pavel,

Easy deserializing is indeed a big part of it. The ability to just call JavaScript's 'eval' instead of having to reconstruct an object graph from an XML DOM makes JSON much easier to you. JSON is also a more concise format.

It is conceivable that Atlas will support SOAP in the future.

Thanks for quick answer.
