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
Parse a JSON string as an expression.
JSON:-ParseString[1, 2, 3.265, 6.01, 7.373]
1,2,3.265,6.01,7.373
Import data from a file in JSON format.
