-JSON in its purest form has no actual comments, but most parsers will accept
-C-style (`//`, `/* */`) comments. Some parsers also tolerate a trailing comma
-(i.e. a comma after the last element of an array or the after the last property of an object),

 For the purposes of this, however, everything is going to be 100% valid JSON. Luckily, it kind of speaks for itself.
 
-Data types supported by JSON includes: numbers, string, boolean, array, object and null.
-Supporting browsers are: Firefox(Mozilla) 3.5, Internet Explorer 8, Chrome, Opera 10, Safari 4.
-JSON file type for JSON files is ".json". The MIME type for JSON text is "application/json"
-Drawbacks of JSON include lack of type definition and some sort of DTD.
+A JSON value must be a number, a string, an array, an object, or one of the following 3 literal names: true, false, null.

+Supporting browsers are: Firefox 3.5+, Internet Explorer 8.0+, Chrome 1.0+, Opera 10.0+, and Safari 4.0+.
+
+File extension for JSON files is ".json" and the MIME type for JSON text is "application/json".
+
+Many programming languages have support for serializing (encoding) and unserializing (decoding) JSON data into native data structures. Javascript has implicit support for manipulating JSON text as data.
+
+More information can be found at http://www.json.org/
+
+JSON is built on two structures:
+* A collection of name/value pairs. In various languages, this is realized as an object, record, struct, dictionary, hash table, keyed list, or associative array.
+* An ordered list of values. In most languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.
+
+An object with various name/value pairs.
