There's another choice, called BSON.
http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/BSON
I've not researched it yet deeply, it seems reasonable to be stored in
databases as it is invented for MongoDB.

Many implementations in many languages of JSON show that parsing JSON
is not so difficult to code and the needs vary. Hence, I wonder if we
can have it very our own.
Never take it wrongly, I don't disagree text format nor disagree to
use an external library.
