Pros: Smaller context
Cons: When accessing data you have to use data["v:email"] vs. data.email

The advantage of JSON-LD in this case is that you can use it for other stuff
as well, it isn't limited to jCards. This could simplify your library and
drastically reduce the amount of custom code you have to write. We also have
an API for JSON-LD [1] and especially framing [2] is quite powerful (it is
currently in a separate document because it's not yet stable enough to hand
it over to W3C).
