JSON (JavaScript Oriented Notation)

JSON (Javascript Object Notation) is a minimal format for structuring data and is used as an alternative to XML. It’s primarily used to pass data from a server to a web application.

One of the major advantages to JSON is that it’s very lightweight, meaning very little “extra” information is passed along.

JSON example:

"company" : {
   "name" : "iNTERFACEWARE",
   "expertise" : [ "integration", "HL7" ]
}
