gollark: Yes, probably, but that's not... what most programs actually do?

gollark: JSON and CBOR and whatnot are good formats for structured data, and you can parse those easily into structured data in your language of choice with about a gazillion tools (there's even `jq` for shell scripting!), and exchange them nicely over HTTP/TCP/whatever networking thing.

gollark: Which tends to be made up ad-hoc and be some terrible hard to parse thing.

gollark: If you want to translate structured data, which is what programs mostly operate on, into plaintext, you need some other format on top of that.

gollark: No, it's not, it's an... encoding, I guess.
