Answer 1

If you need to ask a question about such a relatively simple element of Javascript, I'd suggest a book on the basics Javascript would be a better start. There's no way you could squeeze a whole book out of JSON.

... is there?

Answer 2

I'm not sure there are any books on JSON. It is a very simple markup (notation).

JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation and is truly just a subtopic of Javascript.

The basics:

• An object: {}
• An array: []
• A property (key/value pair): key: value
• A rule: Multiple properties within an object are separated by commas.

There you have it. With the above I can create a simple object:

var myObj = { 
    name: "My Object's Name", 
    list: [ 'some', 'array', 'of', 'things' ], 
    subObj: { prop1: "Another object" } 
};

You now know about 95% of all there is to know about JSON. For the rest look at http://www.json.org.

Best bet would be to go to MSDN Library:
