This is questioned regularly in this list. I can go a step further, and 
question "why Json?". After all, its format is made to be easily parsed 
by JavaScript, not by Lua. You can as well use Lua table format as new 
format.

But in both cases, there are tons of XML and Json data to be parsed, 
produced by 3rd party libraries. From XHTML or RSS data to StackOverflow 
stats or Twitter data.

Beside, OP wrote: "I've got some legacy code", so he is clearly in the 
"can't do without it" camp.
