I found nice support for JSON in Python code library:

  http://docs.python.org/2/library/json.html

and starting from 2008 (Emacs v23.1):

  json.el
  (require 'json)

Live examples at:

  http://edward.oconnor.cx/2006/03/json.el

Seems that this is a simplest and rich data format for communication in modern
applications. In fact it is library/product/framework agnostic. For these
reasons SXML is losing.

But seems that having TLV in mind is also good thing to make proper decision.
