Comment (by bpetty):

 The goal mentioned (exactly as stated) is one fully inclusive goal
 outlined for the REST API. @mbijon is just trying to avoid duplicated
 effort. I don't think there's mixed up goals here, just very different
 approaches to the same goal.

 Considering there really isn't a viable, solid, and stable standard to
 build this out on, we're in the same territory as the REST API, which is
 also not currently restricted to implementation of a specific standard.
 The REST API is already trying to be designed in a way that is conducive
 to frontend JavaScript REST consuming libraries, and there are already
 many generic JS libraries out there for this purpose. When you think about
 it, it's actually more portable than creating a duplicate "RSS" (without
 actually being RSS) JSON endpoint with one specific purpose that the REST
 API is already providing in a more generic way that's widely supported.

 The REST API has already accomplished the single technical goal of this
 ticket (providing JSON instead of XML). Even if this results in a new
 endpoint, it still makes sense for it to be provided through the REST API.
 It would cover things like request rate limiting, CORS or JSONP as already
 mentioned, caching, pagination and other features (even when provided by
 plugins) in the future without extra duplicated efforts.
