JSON

JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is an open standard format that uses human-readable text to transmit data objects consisting of attribute–value pairs.

Description

JSON is used primarily to transmit data between a server and a web application

JSON is an alternative to XML.

Although originally derived from JavaScript, JSON is a language-independent data format.

Code for parsing and generating JSON data is readily available in many programming languages.
