What I find particularly intriguing is the JSON-RPC protocol, which looks like a nice lightweight alternative to XML-RPC.

Also interesting is the browser embeddable JSON-RPC client written in javascript, for which you can see a demo here

I should have mentioned as well that there is a python JSON-RPC server implementation, which incudes a complete JSON<-->python-objects codec.
