Dear Members,

Is the below mentioned code a json or javascript

var txt = '{ "employees" : [' +
'{ "firstName":"John" , "lastName":"Doe" },' +
'{ "firstName":"Anna" , "lastName":"Smith" },' +
'{ "firstName":"Peter" , "lastName":"Jones" } ]}';

It's JavaScript. JSON is not code, it is an interchange format. Calling JSON code is a lot like calling XML "code".

JSON is based upon JavaScript object literal format, so the object literal part of that code does look a lot like JSON, but it's code, not data.

And may I add that txt is a horrid variable name.
