Don’t know if I would describe it as much better. I see it similar to the whole SQL -> NOSQL -> let’s add all the feature and end up with SQL. JSON undergo a similar story with the difference that we didn’t go back to XML. What I mean is to simplify and then realize what was actually missing. But I agree for the smaller services and state transfer especially in web XML was just too damn big and verbose. But conceptually it was great.
