JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange format.
