What is JSON ?

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation that is a language independent text format which is fast and easy to understand.On the server-side you can easily serialize/deserialize your objects to/from JSON.JSON (Java Script Object Notation) provides a simple data format for the exchange of information between the browser and server. In other words JSON is light weight data-interchange format.
An object described in JSON consists of a set of curly braces {} enclosing a set of attribute-value pairs.
For example:
{"movielist": ["Friday the 13th", "Friday the 13th Part 2", "Friday the 13th Part III", "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter", "Friday the 13th: A New Beginning"]}
