# JSON

JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) is an open-standard file format for storing and transmitting data objects in text format.

Within Linx Designer, JSON is used to pass data around.

The **JSON plugin** contains the following functions, which allow for the conversion of strings that contain JSON data to JSON objects:

* *JSONReader*: To read the JSON data transferred to a Linx Function from a web site or service.
* *JSONWriter*: To create JSON formatted strings.
