I left it unsaid that I assumed SQLLite was normally used in places other than the traditional back end server data store - I tend to use postgreSQL / mysql or perhaps a noSQL variant such as couchDB/Mongo for server-side data.

So I meant that instead of using SQLLite on mobile devices, pc based local fat clients or in the browser... I now use JSON now whereas I might have used SQLLite before [ I also use JSON where I might have used XML or windows config files etc ]

I did not intend to say JSON is replacing MySQL / PostgreSQL.
