Manipulating JSON

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a lightweight data-interchange format. As the reference site says, It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate. It is based on a subset of the JavaScript programming language, but it is not limited to JavaScript in any way. Indeed, JSON is a text format that is completely language agnostic. These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language for many uses. In recent years, JSON has become on a par with XML in many applications, especially when data size matters, because of its intrinsic conciseness and simplicity.
