**[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:j:javascript]] Object Notation (JSON)** is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:data_object|data objects]] consisting of attribute–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values). It is a very common data format, with a diverse range of applications, one example being web applications that communicate with a [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:s:server|server]].

JSON is a language-independent data format. It was derived from [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:j:javascript|JavaScript]], but many modern [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:programlang|programming languages]] include code to generate and parse JSON-format data. JSON filenames use the extension ''.json''.
