Just when you thought you had this great new idea, it has been done already. For a long long time.

Soooo, I discovered JSON. That looks a lot like SSS. Yeah. I’m not a JSON expert (IANAJSONE?) but I can tell there are some differences between their format and ours. Pros and cons, like any decision.

Our pros are that it’s a very basic storage method. It’s JSON light. So if JSON is fat-free XML, SSS is fat- and carbohydrate-free JSON.

So, SSS is a project of me and Maurice, and we also have a SourceForge site up, almost. The name SSS was taken already, so we went with something slightly more controversial. We were surprised nobody took the name/acronym we came up with yet!

In unrelated news, I’ve watched The Matrix tonight since what, 6 years or so? And it rocked even harder then when I was 12. Tears of joy coming down from my eyes when Neo OWNS so hard in the entry hall of the building. Epic.
