-As JSON is an extremely simple data-interchange format, this is most likely going to be the simplest Learn X in Y Minutes ever.
+JSON is an extremely simple data-interchange format. As [json.org](http://json.org) says, it is easy for humans to read and write and for machines to parse and generate.
 
-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), but they should be avoided for better compatibility.

-For the purposes of this, however, everything is going to be 100% valid JSON. Luckily, it kind of speaks for itself.
-
-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".
+A piece of JSON must represent either:
+* 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 various languages, this is realized as an array, vector, list, or sequence.
+ an array/list/sequence (`[ ]`) or a dictionary/object/associated array (`{ }`).
 
-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.

+For the purposes of this tutorial, everything is going to be 100% valid JSON. Luckily, it kind of speaks for itself.
 
-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.
+Supported data types:
 
-An object with various name/value pairs.
+* Strings: `"hello"`, `"\"A quote.\""`, `"\u0abe"`, `"Newline.\n"`
+* Numbers: `23`, `0.11`, `12e10`, `3.141e-10`, `1.23e+4`
+* Objects: `{ "key": "value" }`
+* Arrays: `["Values"]`
+* Miscellaneous: `true`, `false`, `null`
