I think JSON is used reasonably often under the hood for various things in Unity, I certainly use it in all my games. The builtin JSONUtility can do the job, but there are some edge cases (serializing lists without a base class, for example) where it falls over. LitJSON is a simple but comprehensive option if you need more power.
