JSON
Web Science[1]
JSON, it is an open-standard file format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs and array data types. JSON in itself stands for JavaScript Object Notation, which basically means that it is used for Notating Objects, duh. JSON is a JS derivative, it uses very similar if not the exact same syntax as JS (example 1).
Example 1 - String Value Application
JS: { name : 'Orest' }
JSON: { "name" : "Orest" }Standards
