2005 me: #SOAP is too verbose, look at all these defined types! #JSON is the future with arbitrary structure!
2020 me: Actually SOAP has a point 🤔

JSON is great when you're messing about and you're in control of both sides of the exchange. But when types and validation start to matter, SOAP does have a point. But it's still too verbose.

There's actually a thing called JSON schema. Never used it, but maybe that could fix the problem.
