I added it because my Setup script uses JSON replies for validation.
Besides, parsing JSON (both constructing and parsing) is faster than
XML, requires less bandwidth and less code to read the response, so I
believe we should stick with that. phpMyAdmin requires PHP 5.2, and
since that version the extension for building JSON responses is part
of PHP core.

If this intermediate layer can be justified, why not.
