Right, that nicely highlights the difference in approach. I believe
N-Triples was designed to be as easy as possible to serialize and
parse, so it's minimal in terms of specification, has a flat structure
and there are no abbreviations/shortcuts etc. The SPARQL
results-derived format is probably about as close to this as you can
get in JSON while supporting intuitive Javascript access paths.
JSON-LD adds structure and maps shortcuts for URIs - closer in spirit
to Turtle I suppose.

Cheers,
Danny.
