Oh, I see. No, JSON, despite the name, is not particularly related to JavaScript; it's just a generic serialization/storage/interchange format, rather like XML or CDF or ASN.1. It imposes a number of restrictions that JavaScript notation does not, and it's used in a lot of environments where JavaScript is not. (For example, at my job we use JSON for data used by various JUnit tests.) Even the common claim that JSON is a subset of JavaScript is technically not quite true, since there are a few characters that JSON allows in string literals but that JavaScript does not.

(The related JSON P, however, really is JavaScript-specific AFAIK.)
