JSON

From Technical Presentations

JSON (Javascript Object Notation) is a lightweight computer data interchange format. It is a text-based, human-readable format for representing objects and other data structures and is mainly used to transmit such structured data over a network connection (in a process called serialization).

JSON finds its main application in Ajax web application programming, as a simple alternative to using XML for asynchronously transmitting structured information between client and server.

The JSON format is specified in RFC 4627 by Douglas Crockford. The official Internet media type for JSON is application/json.
