What’s nice about JSON is that it’s actually valid JavaScript, with some formal specification to avoid any nasty circles or injections.

Why can’t your protocol just be valid JavaScript too? this.name = “string”; instead of mixing so many metaphors?

It’s delivered in JSON, but you need an interpreter. But the actions are just JS assignment statements and a little glue. Your interpreter could as easily handle that, and with far less bytes. Why call a member variable /name when it’s already .name?
