JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is a simplified way to send and receive messages that improves the amount of bytes being sent or received by a service comparing it with XML.
For example, an XML message like
<customers> <customer>Jhon</customer> <customer>Lucas</customer></customers>
would be formed like this in JSON:
"Customers" : { "customer" : "Jhon" , "Lucas" }
As you can see the JSON involves sending less numbers of characters than the corresponding XML message, and the result would be the same.
