   There already exists a "binary analogy" of JSON called Protocol Buffers or Kiwi. They are pretty simple (a parser can be made in 2 kB of code). Wouold be great if the author compared his reinvented wheel with existing wheels :D

      protobuf is definitely not a binary analogue to JSON, because it's not a self-describing document format, it requires a schema.

      cbor is a json analogue.
