Syntax

• Object : An object is an unordered set of name/value pairs. An object begins with { (left brace) and ends with } (right brace). Each name is followed by : (colon) and the name/value pairs are separated by , (comma).
• Array : An array is an ordered collection of values. An array begins with [ (left bracket) and ends with ] (right bracket). Values are separated by , (comma).
• Value : A value can be a string in double quotes, or a number, or true or false or null, or an object or an array. These structures can be nested.
• String : A string is a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters, wrapped in double quotes, using backslash escapes. A character is represented as a single character string. A string is very much like a C or Java string.
• Number : A number is very much like a C or Java number, except that the octal and hexadecimal formats are not used.
