The popularity of JSON has also resulted in native JSON support by many databases.


JSON is commonly, but not exclusively, used to exchange information between web clients and web servers. Although JSON is derived from JavaScript, it is supported either natively or through libraries in most major programming languages. It's meant to be a human-readable and compact solution to represent a complex data structure and facilitate data-interchange between systems.JavaScript Object Notation is a schema-less, text-based representation of structured data that is based on key-value pairs and ordered lists. JSON stands for "JavaScript Object Notation" and is pronounced "Jason" (like in the Friday the 13th movies).
