JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format.
It is easy for humans to read and write. It is easy for machines to parse and generate.
It is based on a subset of the JavaScript Programming Language, Standard ECMA-262 3rd Edition
- December 1999. JSON is a text format that is completely language independent but uses
conventions that are familiar to programmers of the C-family of languages, including C, C++, C#,
Java, JavaScript, Perl, Python, and many others.
These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language.

Denial of Service in JSON-Java versions up to and including 20230618. A bug in the parser means that an input string of modest size can lead to indefinite amounts of memory being used.
