JSON: Javascript Object Notation
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight computer data interchange format. It is a text-based, human-readable format for representing simple data structures and associative arrays (called objects).
The JSON format is often used for transmitting structured data over a network connection in a process called serialization. Its main application is in Ajax web application programming, where it serves as an alternative to the traditional use of the XML format.
Although JSON was based on a subset of the JavaScript programming language and is commonly used with that language, it is considered to be a language-independent data format. Code for parsing and generating JSON data is readily available for a large variety of programming languages.
JSON is a self-contained unambiguous data representation format, and since it carries no executable or algorithmic meaning, it is inherently secure by itself. Since the JSON syntax is, by design, a subset of the JavaScript syntax, most security concerns involve having a JavaScript interpreter directly process JSON text as though it were JavaScript source code.
