1 Introduction
Why JSON?

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is becoming more popular as an alternative to the Extensible Markup
Language (XML) used in exchange data between heterogeneous systems

Here are some of the advantages:

JSON parsing is generally faster than XML parsing.

JSON is a more compact format, meaning it takes far less of the bandwidth than the more verbose XML.

JSON is easier to work with in some languages (such as javascript, python, and php)

Formatted JSON is generally easier to read than formatted XML.

JSON specifies how to represent complex datatypes
