That's an opinion I strongly disagree with so I would not be a fan of
us standardizing on this at all. I would like to see some strong
evidence to backup this statement. I attempted to use this for JSON
handling in multiple projects and we settled on other options in every
case (re: matterhorn, dspace, EB, etc.). The handling of maps and
collections was especially problematic (at the time anyway).
