Yes, because JavaScript Object Notation *is* a serialization format

and back :)

To me it feels redundant, like binarytextbinary
the binary representation of JSON is JavaScript(-like) Object, not
"binary json"
So my vote would be either jsobj or jsdoc (as "document databases") tend
to call the structured types "documents"
