JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), is a lightweight format for data-interchange. It is easy to read and write. It is easy for machines and humans to generate and parse. It is based upon a subset the JavaScript Programming Language Standard ECMA-262 (3rd Edition - Dec 1999). JSON is a text format which is completely language-independent but still uses conventions familiar to programmers of the C family of languages. This includes C++, C# JavaScript, JavaScript, Perl and Python. These properties make JSON a great data-interchange language. JSON is built upon two structures: 1. A collection of name/value pair. This can be realized in many languages as an object, record or struct. 2. An ordered list of values. This can be expressed in most languages as an array, vector or list. These are universal data structures. They are supported by almost all modern programming languages in one way or another.

Elm uses type-inference to detect corner cases, and give friendly hints. NoRedInk switched from Java to Elm four years ago. 300k+ lines later, the company still has not had to deal with a confusing runtime exception in production. The compiler will guide you safely through your changes, making sure that you are confident even when there are complex refactorings to be made in unfamiliar codebases. Including your own, six months later. All Elm programs follow the same pattern. This eliminates doubt and long discussions when building new projects. It also makes it easy to navigate through old or foreign codebases. Elm has its own virtual DOM implementation that is optimized for speed and simplicity. Elm makes it possible to modify all values, and benchmarks have shown that this allows us to generate JavaScript code with a high speed.
