One key difference is that JSON is JavaScript. JavaScript was designed to run on the client browser, to enhance the experience for the user further than what could be achieved with HTML alone.

JSON is written in readable English text but has a clearly defined structure. There are a few rules when working with data for which JSON was deliberately designed:
