JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight text-based data standard for describing structured data made of key-value pairs and lists.

As a human-readable format, it offers an alternative to explicitly tagged structured data such as XML.

The JSON package provides tools for parsing and generating JSON expressions.

The general-purpose commands Import and Export also support this format.

Content-Type: application/json

$\mathrm{JSON}:-\mathrm{ParseString}\left(''[1,\; 2,\; 3.265,\; 6.01,\; 7.373]''\right)$

$\left[1\,2\,3.265\,6.01\,7.373\right]$

$\mathrm{Import}\left(''example/address.json''\,\mathrm{base}=\mathrm{datadir}\right)$

$table\left(\left[''address''=table\left(\left[''postalCode''=''N2V\; 1K8''\,''country''=''Canada''\,''province''=''ON''\,''city''=''Waterloo''\,''streetAddress''=''615\; Kumpf\; Drive''\right]\right)\,''founded''=1988\,''companyName''=''Maplesoft''\,''phoneNumbers''=\left[table\left(\left[''number''=''+1\; (519)\; 747-2373''\,''type''=''local''\right]\right)\,table\left(\left[''number''=''+1\; (800)\; 267-6583''\,''type''=''tollfree''\right]\right)\,table\left(\left[''number''=''+1\; (519)\; 747-5284''\,''type''=''fax''\right]\right)\right]\right]\right)$
