What is "json"

JSON (canonically pronounced ; sometimes JavaScript Object Notation) is an open-standard format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs. It is the most common data format used for asynchronous browser/server communication ( AJAJ), largely replacing XML which is used by AJAX.

JSON is a language-independent data format. It derives from JavaScript, but , code to generate and parse JSON-format data is available in many programming languages. The official Internet media type for JSON is application/json. The JSON filename extension is .json.

Douglas Crockford originally specified the JSON format; two competing standards, RFC 7159 and ECMA-404, define it. The ECMA standard describes only the allowed syntax, whereas the RFC also provides some semantic and security considerations.
