No it's not the JSON specification, however it is closely related, "JSON is a subset of the object literal notation of JavaScript" [2], and was developed when ECMAScript-262 was in it's Third Edition. ECMAScript-262 is now in it's Fifth Edition, and includes JSON. To all extents and purposes, the JSON people use, and the environment they often use it in, is defined by the ECMAScript-262 Fifth Edition I referred you to. For practical usage, and when discussing, it's good to be familiar with the ECMAScript-262 Fifth Edition and what it says about JSON, the parsing and stringification of it, and how it maps to ECMAScript-262 "Objects". Hope that clarifies. [1] http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-262.pdf [2] http://www.json.org/js.html
