As I see that JSON protocol is so popular, I’m planning to implement JSON protocol in order to remote control a device with embedded software.  
I think, for example: **{“module”:“relays”,“activate”:1}** , and I think this is OK with the protocol  
But, I see that, perhaps this is not the “style” of doing this, and more preferable something like: **{“module”:“relays”, “method”:“activate”,“params”:{“relay\_no”:1}}**  
Because we’re talking of an embedded system, first one is much more efficient  
Can somebody give me an advice about this?  
Thank you very much
