JSON Object (JavaScript Object Notation)

Description

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format for storing and exchanging data that is simple for humans to read and write and easy for machines to parse and generate. JSON is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, but just like XML, its format is text only, allowing it to be used by many programming languages. Unlike XML, however, JSON supports the use of arrays, comprises shorter syntax and does not use end tags, making it quicker for machines to read and generate.
