JSON, which has been around since 01, is trendy?

Something being "old" is totally unrelated to whether it's trendy. See: virtually every food and fashion trend.

Trendy also isn't the same as popular or preferred.

Ah, alright. Trendy does have a negative connotation with it as well; as opposed to "established" i.e. this trend will pass. Also, note the addition of "data formats that are around today" is clearly a jab at the age of JSON and nothing else.

Saying the data format that's easier to work with and parse while being nearly as old is trendy, is kinda disingenuous, no?
