JSON API [1] is an attempt to standardise the request and response formats for JSON APIs, and it supports an extension which permits multiple operations in a single request [2].

Facebook have their own, similar method of supporting batched calls through the Graph API [3], and this even permits you to specify dependencies between operations in a single request using JSONPath [4].
