JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format

• It is easy for humans to read and write.
• It is easy for machines to parse and generate. 
  

Example:

XML string:

Same data represented by JSON:

{"menu": { "id": "file", "value": "File", "popup": { "menuitem": [ {"value": "New", "onclick": "CreateNewDoc()"}, {"value": "Open", "onclick": "OpenDoc()"}, {"value": "Close", "onclick": "CloseDoc()"} ] } }}
