JavaScript Object Notation

Akronim: JSON

JSON
JavaScript Object Notation. JASON is a format for exchanging data
between systems. It is a text based format (and so human readable), and uses
simple data structures and associative arrays.
It has been suggested that JASON is more efficient (although perhaps less
versatile) than XML. Since both file types
require some processing, which is the most suitable or the most efficient
should be considered on a per application basis. JSON files require less processing to parse
than XML files, and for some applications can be smaller than the XML
equivalents. JSON is supported natively
by JavaScript and for JavaScript based solutions JSON is therefore a very efficient means of data exchange.
JSON files normally use the .json
file extension.
