[Qt-qml] Towards QtQuick 2.0 , what more improvements to make JS first class citizen?

[Johan Paul]

XML is a first-class citizen in QML, which I find very "90s". JSON 
should be on the same level that XML currently is. Just think about the 
models that can be automatically built from XML. Being able to do the 
same from JSON would be awesome, and to be honest, matching today's 
requirements.
