HEre I will give some information about that
JSON
(JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the
JavaScript Programming Language
,
Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999
. 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 language.
JSON is built on two structures:
A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an
object
, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an
array
, vector, list, or sequence.
These are universal data structures. Virtually all modern programming languages support them in one form or another. It makes sense that a data format that is interchangable with programming languages also be based on these structures.
In JSON, they take on these forms:
An
object
is an unordered set of name/value pairs. An object begins with
{
(left brace)
and ends with
}
(right brace)
. Each name is followed by
:
(colon)
and the name/value pairs are separated by
,
(comma)
.
