JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a simple data-interchange format. Meaning it is an easy to use method to interchange data.

JSON Object

Usage:	ObjName = {Element1:Value1, Element2:Value2}
Example:	PlayerDetails = {Owner:"NEAT", Group:1} echo "Player {PlayerDetails.Owner} is in group {PlayerDetails.Group}"

This method allows you to create and define a JSON Object and its elements. A JSON object is defined between braces {}. Within the braces you can define the elements of the objects well as the value of that element.

NameOfJSONObject = { ElementName:"Value" }

If you wanted to echo the above "Value" that was given to the element called "ElementName", You can do this:

```
echo NameOfJSONObject.ElementName
```

The result of this would be:

 (City Name) - Value
 (City Name) - Script stopped

json_encode

Usage:	json_encode()
Example:	JsonObj = {element:"Value"} echo json_encode(JsonObj)

json_encode() will allow you to encode a JSON object.

If you attempted to echo a JSON Object (the object itself, not an element within) it would output this:

```
(City Name) - [object Object]
```

This is due to it being encoded in the JSON language. To be able to get valid data from the object, json_encode is needed.

thejson = {this:"that"}
echo json_encode(thejson)

Outputs:

json_encode() will allow you to encode a JSON object.

If you attempted to echo a JSON Object (the object itself, not an element within) it would output this:
 . {{{
(City Name) - [object Object]
}}}
This is due to it being encoded in the JSON language. To be able to get valid data from the object, json_encode is needed.
 .{{{
thejson = {this:"that"}
echo json_encode(thejson)
}}}
Outputs:
 .{{{
 (City Name) - {"this":"that"}
 (City Name) - Script stopped
