    That’s not JSON. Note the use of equal signs for the property names. That’s something else.

      Carcinisation is the phenomenon of non crabs to evolve crab like characteristics. It is not the process of non crabs becoming true crabs.

      In this case the language is trending toward JSON syntax, but it doesn’t have to actually be JSON for carcinisation to be an applicable analogy.

      Equals schmequals.
      It could be a and it would be the same as JSON because it is still a single symbol used as a separator.

      a distinction without a difference

      Now, if it took multiple separators, each giving some specific different meaning, then it would be a something else.
