JSON

A lightweight data interchange format.

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, easy-to-read, and easy-to-write format for data exchange. It is language-independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C family of languages, including C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others. For example, JSON is often used to transmit data between a server and web application as text.
