It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition - December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages. JSON is a substantially adopted data-interchange language and format in the lab sector for instrument-to-instrument as well as software-to-instrument-to-software exchanges.
