    I’ve always read JSON as Jason in my head. Now that I found out what it stands for, it could still be JaSON.

      The only people I’ve heard pronounce it drastically different from Jason are the tech elitist types. You probably know the ones. The arseholes that spend 13 hours a day on tech/programming forums and nitpick every single fucking thing anybody says

      I say it slightly differently from Jason, but barely noticeable. Jason is more like Jas’n, the O mostly vanishes. Similar to Melbourne, it’s not Mel-Born, but you still out yourself as a yank if you say Mel-ben or Mel-bin, because almost everybody from here gets rid of everything between the b and the n. It’s just Melb’n. JSON I pronounce with a more noticeable O. I do not say “Jay Ess Oh Enn”, or JavaScript Object Notation. It’s just Jason with a harder O
