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