The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format

Metadata

Publisher: IETF
Doc Type: Standard
Pages: 16
Abstract: JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight, text-based, language-independent data interchange format. It was derived from the ECMAScript Programming Language Standard. JSON defines a small set of formatting rules for the portable representation of structured data. This document removes inconsistencies with other specifications of JSON, repairs specification errors, and offers experience-based interoperability guidance.
