What is the full form of JSON ?

JSON – JavaScript Object Notation


JSON is a open standard lightweight data-interchange format, based on a subset of the JavaScript. It is easy for humans to read & write and for machines to parse & generate. It was named so because it is syntactically identical to the code for creating JavaScript objects.

        The JSON format was originally specified by Douglas Crockford of JavaScript Good Parts. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, serving as an alternative to XML.
