Json is a data-representation computer-language.
[HmnSgm.2017-11-03]
===
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.

Both JSON and YAML aim to be human readable data interchange formats.
However, JSON and YAML have different priorities.
Json’s foremost design goal is simplicity and universality.
Thus, JSON is trivial to generate and parse, at the cost of reduced human readability.
It also uses a lowest common denominator information model, ensuring any JSON data can be easily processed by every modern programming environment.
In contrast, YAML’s foremost design goals are human readability and support for serializing arbitrary native data structures.
Thus, YAML allows for extremely readable files, but is more complex to generate and parse.
In addition, YAML ventures beyond the lowest common denominator data types, requiring more complex processing when crossing between different programming environments.

A number of people independently discovered that JavaScript's object literals were an ideal format for transmitting object-oriented data across the network.
I made my own discovery in April of 2001 when I was CTO of State Software.
In 2002 I acquired the json.org domain and put up a page describing the format.
With no other effort on my part, JSON has been widely adopted by people who found that it made it a lot easier to produce distributed applications and services.
The original page has been translated into Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish.
Json has been formalized in RFC 4627.
The MIME Media Type is application/json.

"It contains the data sorted according to the dataset dimensions. It usually takes the form of an array where missing values are expressed as nulls.
... When too many cube cells are empty (sparse cube), the value array is populated with nulls.
... To avoid this, the value property can take the form of an object.
Value order follows the “What does not change, first” criterion. According to this criterion, values are ordered by combination of category dimensions keeping fixed the first categories of the first dimensions and iterating through the categories of the last dimension in the id array (and so forth).
For example, if we have three dimensions (A, B and C) with 3, 2 and 4 categories respectively, the values should be ordered iterating first by the 4 categories of C, then by the 2 categories of B and finally by the 3 categories of A:
A1B1C1 A1B1C2 A1B1C3 A1B1C4
A1B2C1 A1B2C2 A1B2C3 A1B2C4

"It is used to order the possible values (categories) of a dimension. The order of the categories and the order of the dimensions themselves determine the order of the data in the value array. While the dimensions’ order has only this functional role (and therefore any order chosen by the provider is valid), the categories’ order has also a presentation role: it is assumed that the categories are sorted in a meaningful order and that the consumer can rely on it when displaying the information. For example, categories in dimensions with a time role are assumed to be in chronological order.
To provide the category IDs and their order, an array can be used.
"sex" : {
"category" : {
"index" : ["M", "F", "T"]
}
}
For efficiency reasons (see Arrays vs. Objects), an object that attaches a position to every ID can also be used (this is currently the recommended format).
"sex" : {
"category" : {
"index" : {
"M" : 0,
"F" : 1,
"T" : 2
}
}
}
index is required unless the dimension is a constant dimension (dimension with a single category). When a dimension has only one category, the index property is indeed unnecessary. In the case that a category index is not provided, a category label must be included."

"It can be used to assign unit of measure metadata to the categories of a dimension with a metric role.
"role": {
"metric": ["concept"]
}
It takes the form of an object where category ID is the key and the value is an object.
"concept" : {
"category" : {
"label" : {
"pop" : "population"
},
"unit" : {
"pop" : { … }

}
Four properties of this object are currently closed: decimals, label, symbol and position.
"unit" : {
"exp" : {
"decimals": 1,
"label" : "millions",
"symbol" : "$",
"position" : "start"
}
}
Following the previous example, a client could display a value of 10 of metric exp as “$10.0 millions”.
Based on current standards and practices, other properties of this object could be:
* base: It is the base unit (person, gram, euro, etc.).
* type: This property should probably help deriving new data from the data. It should probably help answering questions like: does it make sense to add two different cell values? Some possible values of this property could be count or ratio. Some might also consider as possible values things like currency, mass, length, time, etc.
* multiplier: It is the unit multiplier. It should help comparing data with the same base unit but different multiplier. If a decimal system is used, it can be expressed as powers of 10 (0=1, 1=10, -1=0.1, etc.).
* adjustment: A code to express the time series adjustment (for example, seasonally adjusted or adjusted by working days) or indices adjustment (for example, chain-linked indices).
These properties are currently open. Data providers are free to use them on their own terms, although it is safer to do it under extension."

"Besides using HTTP status codes, JSON-stat documents can include the error property to communicate response errors. It takes the form of an array of objects, each providing information for an error. Libraries should offer a method to retrieve this array but should also check the validity of the response, as the inclusion of error is not mandatory.
Based on current standards and practices, possible error elements could be:
* status: The HTTP status code (for example, "401").
* id: The provider’s internal error code (for example, "106").
* href: A link to a web page where information about this error is published (for example, "http://example.com/error/106").
* label: A short descriptive text about the error. It can be useful to provide two properties: one for the end user ("The selected country does not exist.") and one for the developer ("Parameter 'area' must be an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code.")."

"value" : [100, null, 102, 103, 104],

To assign the same status to all data, an array of size 1 can be used.
{

"class" : "dataset",
"value" : [100, 99, 102, 103, 104],

For the same purpose, a string can be used (this is the recommended way to assign the same status to all data).
{
"version" : "2.0",
"class" : "dataset",
"value" : [100, 99, 102, 103, 104],

"class" : "dataset",
"value" : [100, null, 102, 103, 104],
"status" : { "1" : "m" },

}
Currently, “status” does not have a standard meaning nor a standard vocabulary. These are, for the moment, up to the provider. It can be used to optionally include any metadata information at the observation level, not only what is regularly known as “status”. If the vocubulary does not adhere to a standard, there is no way yet to assign meaning to the status codes in the same response."
